Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup refined coconut oil (melted, then cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk (use almond milk or dairy milk)
- 2 tsp almond extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
- Prepare Muffin Tin and Dry Ingredients: Spray a mini muffin tin thoroughly with coconut oil spray to prevent sticking. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients — including flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar — except the sprinkles.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, milk, and almond extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures and Add Sprinkles: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture. Finally, fold in the sprinkles evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, aiming for about 45 mini muffins. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops turn golden brown.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- You can substitute dairy milk with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
- For a colorful twist, use your favorite variety of sprinkles or omit them for a plain batter.
- Ensure the coconut oil is cooled before mixing with eggs to prevent cooking them prematurely.
- Mini muffin tins produce smaller bites, perfect for parties or snacks.
