Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your preheated oven to 400°F.
Arrange a mini muffin pan or mini muffin tin with 24 mini paper liners or spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl or mixing bowl, combine:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Salt
- Baking powder
These are your dry ingredients.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Add:
- Milk
- Vegetable oil
- Egg
Mix until the muffin batter becomes smooth and fully combined.
Be careful not to overmix or you could end up with dense muffins instead of soft, fluffy ones.
Step 4: Add the Sprinkles
Gently fold in the colorful sprinkles using a spatula.
This keeps the colors bright and prevents the batter from turning muddy.

Fill each muffin cavity about ¾ full.
Top with extra sprinkles if desired for an even more festive look.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or 12-15 minutes, until the centers are fully set and the tops become lightly golden brown.
