Well friends, spring has sprung here in Las Vegas and I am so ready for bright colors, fresh flowers, and beautiful sunshine. We have been outside soaking it all in as much as possible, but today, we welcomed spring a little differently… With some bright, fun, and colorful Funfetti Muffins for breakfast!
I mean how can you start out your day any other way than with a smile when you have a plate full of piping hot muffins bursting with fun colors? It goes without saying that the kids absolutely adored this breakfast and were convinced we were eating cupcakes for breakfast. Secretly though, I was pretty excited too!
Even though these muffins look bright fun and colorful just like funfetti cupcakes, there is no cake mix here! I used my trusty muffin recipe that always makes big, thick, and fluffy muffins and combined it with a secret breakfast ingredient to make this special spring treat. Those of you who know me, know that I don’t really have secret recipes, so here is my secret ingredient– Fruity Pebbles! How great is that, right?! Even better? I swung by Walgreens to pick some up while I was out, for my little spring treat and they were on sale for only $1.99 a box {Sale lasts form March 30- April 5, while supplies last}.
So with Fruity Pebbles in hand, all I needed were a few staples to throw these together. Just cream your sugar and butter, then mix your dry ingredients {flour, baking powder, and salt.} Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture alternately with the milk until they are all combined. Then take the fruity pebbles and flod them into the mixture until they are all combined. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin and drop a heaping spoonful of the mixture in each cup and bake at 400˚F for 10-14 minutes or until the center is done and the edges are golden brown.

Holly @ Bits of Everything says
My kids would be pleasantly surprised if I made these for breakfast. So fun!
Jeanie says
Curious – do these actually taste like funfetti? Thanks.
Kimber says
No they look like funfetti but taste more like fruity pebbles. My kids loved them though!
danna says
Im makeing theses as we speak I was suprised that there is no egg. I also wonder if the base would be good with other addins like chocolate chips or even other cereals.
Kimber says
Oh I hope you loved them! The muffin is a basic base so they would be good with almost anything mixed in! We do all sorts of fruits – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc, nuts, or whatever our minds come up with that morning!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
These are so cute! My boys would flip if they had these for breakfast 🙂
Kimber says
Thank you Andi! My kids love colorful things so we had a really fun breakfast. Hope your boys are able to enjoy them soon too!
Chelsea Cohen says
Can’t wait to try these! Yum!
Hayley says
Are fruity pebbles like froot loops? We are pretty strict over here in Australia about what’s in our breakfast cereals. ..they look beautiful tho:-)
Brenda says
I am wondering what those funfetti things are made of…how much and what kind of food dyes are used. They look like fun but I’d be more inclined to use natural additions instead of something made with artificial flavours and colours (if that is indeed the case).
Jayne says
Look nice but full of sugar. Are they a good start to the day.
Michael Bennett says
You should know that you are treading on dangerous ground. There is already a product in the marketplace that is a pancake mix called “Funfetti.” You can, of course, use the pancake mix as if it were a muffin mix, but it is even better to make pancakes with it. Looks just like your muffins but doesn’t use Fruity Pebbles (which means no excess artificial colors or flavors—ergo, much healthier). And the name is trademarked. I believe the product is made by Pillsbury. You might want to check the pancake mix area of your local supermarket and then check with a patent/copyright attorney to see if you are committing some kind of violation. If you are, it could cost you a fortune if and when you get sued.
