Instructions
1-Whisk together 2 cups flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder in a bowl, then set aside. This dry mix ensures even rising.
2-In a large bowl, beat 4 tablespoons butter at room temperature and 1 cup sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Use a mixer for ease.
3-Add 2 eggs at room temperature and beat until combined. They bring structure and richness.
4-Mix in ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract. This duo keeps muffins super moist.
5-On low speed, alternately add half the flour mixture and half of 1 cup milk, mixing gently until just combined. Repeat with remaining flour and milk. No overmixing here!
6-Stir in ¾ cup sprinkles using a spatula. Gentle folds keep colors intact.
7-Fill muffin cups three-quarters full. This allows perfect rising, yielding 16 muffins.
8-Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until tops spring back or toothpick comes out clean.
9-Allow muffins to cool completely in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
