Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) room temperature
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 2/3 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup jimmy rainbow sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line the pan with liners if using and set aside.
  • In a large bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, begin to beat your butter until it is creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and cream together on medium-high speed for one minute. 
  • Add one whole egg, one egg white, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix together for an additional minute.
  • Mix in your milk carefully.
  • To the same bowl, add in your flour, baking powder, and salt and mix the flour mixture until thoroughly combined into the wet ingredients. 
  • Fold sprinkles into the cupcake batter.
  • Divide batter into the muffin tin, filling the cups all of the way with the muffin batter.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, checking them at the 15-minute mark to ensure they don't overbake. 
  • Allow the mini funfetti cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before removing and eating. Enjoy!
