Fluffy, SPRINKLE BIRTHDAY CAKE Muffins that taste just like birthday cake! This is a easy rainbow muffins recipe that is pretty and perfect for happy birthday parties and birthday breakfast. Kids LOVE these FUN birthday muffins!
Birthday Cake Sprinkle Muffins
These Birthday Cake Muffins are super fluffy, just like a birthday cake—and they taste just like it too! I fold sprinkles into the batter and then add extra sprinkles on top in the muffin pan for bright rainbow color all over. They’re basically Funfetti muffins, but in muffin form!
If you’re looking for a fun alternative to birthday cupcakes, bake a batch of these muffins instead. You won’t even miss the frosting with how sweet and delicious they are! Perfect for birthday celebrations, birthday breakfasts, or just adding a little cheer to your day. They also make a fun snack to share at work or school.
I love baking with sprinkles because they make everything more joyful! Some of my other favorite colorful treats include Sprinkled Butter Cookies , Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites , and Confetti Cake Batter Brownies —but now we’re adding a new member to the sprinkle family: Fluffy Birthday Muffins!
How to Store Them
Let your muffins cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, pop them in the freezer for up to 2 months—just thaw or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they’re as soft and fluffy as when they came out of the oven!
I hope you enjoy these Birthday Cake Muffins!
