Description

What You'll
  • 1/2 C Gluten free flour
  • 1/2 C Vanilla yogurt (used almond vanilla yogurt)
  • 1 Egg (used egg replacer)
  • 1/4 C Butter (used dairy free soy free butter)
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 Tsp Baking soda
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1/8 Tsp Salt
  • 1/4 C Rainbow sprinkles (or your choice of mix in)
Instructions
  1. 1
    What To Do:

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini muffin pan (optional).

    2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the vanilla almond yogurt, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. If you’re using an egg replacer, prepare it according to the package instructions, then add it to the mixture. Stir until smooth.

    3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    4. Blend wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is well combined. You should have a thick, smooth batter. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of dairy-free milk to loosen it up, but it should be able to hold its shape.

    5. Add the fun: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix, or the colors may bleed into the batter.

    6. Scoop and bake: Using a spoon or mini scooper, fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with batter. 

    7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. These little muffins don’t need much time in the oven, so keep an eye on them as they bake!

    8. Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
