Sprinkles and bright colors make everything funner, that’s why I love baking with them!  Rainbow Birthday Waffles,  6 Inch Small Birthday Cake, Sprinkled Butter Cookies , Chewy Confetti Cookies, Dinosaur Ballerina Birthday Cakes and Confetti Cake Batter Brownies are some of my favorite colorful treats but now we’re adding a new member to the sprinkle family – Fluffy Birthday Muffins!

How to Make Birthday Cake Muffins Video

These Birthday Cake Muffins are super fluffy, just like a birthday cake – and they taste just like it too!  I include sprinkles inside the batter and then add additional sprinkles on top once in the muffin pan to give them a bright rainbow color all over!  They remind me of Funfetti cake mix but in muffin form!

Alternative to Birthday Cupcakes

If you’re looking for a alternative to birthday cupcakes, then bake a batch of these muffins instead. You won’t miss the frosting with how sweet and delicious these are!

These would be perfect for a Birthday Celebration or birthday breakfast, but they would also be great for just adding some cheer to your day or bringing a snack gift to leave in the kitchen at work.

    This was a great recipe! I added chocolate chips and made it as mini muffins and it was perfect to bring to my son’s Kindergarten. Thanks so much. I love how the texture is more cakey than a muffin.

    These are great! Made a batch with my 4 year old and we both enjoyed them. Plus now I don’t have to buy the name brand full of junk 😁 Thanks for the simple but delicious recipe!

    Made these for birthday breakfast for my teen son. I loved how simple the recipe is—it came together in no time!

    I put them in the Nordicware train cake muffin pan, and they actually came out of the pan better than any cake recipe has. I only used half a bottle of sprinkles (maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup) and that was plenty. In the future I might add some mini chocolate chips, or white chips, for a little something extra, but I can see where these would be great for little kids. I’ll be keeping this recipe as a base for other experiments.

    Every single time. My butter curdles my mix. I leave it sit. What the heck is happening!!

      Adding lemon juice to milk is one way to get a substitute for buttermilk. That curdling is actually supposed to happen in this recipe.

    Thanks for the recipe. My almost 4yr old asked me to bake sprinkle muffins today and I found your recipe. Big hit here, I’ll be making them again for his birthday next month once we restock on sprinkles 😂
