You can’t go wrong with Funfetti!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know most people love Funfetti Cake. It’s a classic that never gets old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sprinkles?! Another crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But instead of a Funfetti dessert, I like to make Funfetti breakfasts. My kids go crazy for anything with sprinkles<\/strong>, so this is a great way to make breakfast a little extra fun for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Healthy Funfetti Muffins are sweetend with maple syrup, and made with Greek yogurt, oat flour and almond flour, for some extra protein and fiber.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to top them with a little Greek Yogurt “Frosting,” but that’s only optional. My daughter (a die-hard yogurt and frosting lover) loves it. My son (not a huge yogurt fan) doesn’t. You win some, you lose some!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, the both love them plain still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Healthy Funfetti Muffins are light and fluffy, filled with vanilla flavor and a touch of almond flavor. <\/strong>Go crazy with sprinkles, and have an extra fun breakfast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are great for a weekend or brunch treat, or for anyone celebrating a birthday. And with some healthier ingredients, I feel a little better about feeding my kids something loaded with sprinkles for breakfast \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MUFFIN OPTIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make these muffins gluten-free,<\/strong> be sure to use certified gluten-free oat flour and a gluten-free all purpose flour blend<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of oat flour, almond flour, and all purpose flour is what makes the texture of these muffins fluffy and not crumbly. They work really well together to give an exra punch of protein and fiber, without sacrificing texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t need them to be gluten-free,<\/strong> you can use any oat flour and regular white flour instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YOGURT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to use a thick, plain (or vanilla) yogurt. If you use a vanilla yogurt, I would recommend reducing the amount of vanilla extract to 2 teaspoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially for the Greek Yogurt “Frosting,” you’ll need a thick yogurt for it to be spreadable on top. If your yogurt is too thin, it will just drip down the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Keep in mind, this “Frosting” isn’t going to be like regular frosting. It’s not super thick and doesn’t hold shape in the same way. But a light layer on top of these muffins is still super fun and festive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPRINKLES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainbow jimmy sprinkles are the best sprinkles to use in baked goods. They won’t give you crunchy hard sprinkle chunks. If you stir them in lightly, the color shouldn’t spread much either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could use any color of jimmy sprinkles, to make these festive in whatever way you like. You could make them for a Holiday or just use your birthday kid’s favorite color of sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Muffin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Funfetti Muffins are like a healthier version of your favorite Funfetti Cupcakes<\/a>, but for breakfast! Kids and adults alike will love these muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
