Did someone say birthday cake? And in a muffin for breakfast? Yes, please! These Birthday Cake Muffins are a fun treat.
I love how combining the sprinkles into the mixture causes fun and colorful filling. The texture of the muffin is just right.
Enough of a crisp crust on the outside but warm and moist on the inside so that it doesn’t crumble everywhere.
