Notes
- Gently fold the sprinkles into the batter, do not over mix as the color from the sprinkles will begin to run through the batter.
- Do not over mix the batter as this will result in chewy, tough muffins.
- To make these muffin gluten free substitute the flour with gluten free flour.
- Be sure to use a well greased muffin tray, non stick tray or muffin liners.
- Freeze the muffins in an airtight container for up to a month. To defrost simply leave them out at room temperature for an hour and enjoy.
