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.
Don’t you love how simple it is to make such a fun family breakfast? I would love for you to try it out and let me know what you think! Make sure and scroll to the bottom for a full printable recipe.

I just happened upon this by chance. People, if you want to do your kids a favor, make them a colorful fresh fruit salad. Don’t pump them full of additives & dyes especially first thing in the morning. There is nothing healthy about any of the ingredients in this. The ‘fun’ you’re talking about is shooting your kids insulin levels through the roof & causing harm to their body. Please wake up, for the future generations sake. Food is supposed to be healthy fuel. Do your part to contribute to your kids having a healthy heart. That’s all.

Wow! People are ignorant! If you don’t like it, don’t comment on it!!! And I highly doubt anybody’s going to sue her for calling them “funfetti” muffins.. Geez! They look GREAT, Kimber!! I’m going to be sure to save this recipe. I know my son would LOVE them!! 🙂
Karen says
guys, relax…this is obviously a treat!!!
Karen says
These were very tasty and easy. Only thing is I had to add at least 1/4 c more milk bc the mix was way too dry. Next time I will add just a tad more. Kids loved them and were very excited for something different and fun 🙂 thanks!!
Daphne says
I and my husband both found these muffins tasteless. Not good, not bad, just tasteless.
Chrysti says
Made these today; they’re excellent and fun and easy. My only comment is that the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of milk and I needed a whole cup, also I will add vanilla next time. They’re very good, like I said, but they just need a little something. Thanks for the recipe!
Kimber says
Thanks Chrysti! Such a sweet comment. I appreciate it. I do think upping the milk a little is smart – I’m going to modify the recipe! I haven’t ever used vanilla but I bet it would be delicious!
Alana Henfling says
Just made these. Chilling one the rack. Kids are excited.We had Fun making them. Defiantly came out thick for us. I tried to put in half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour. Also made a double batch. Thanks!
Kimber says
SO glad you enjoyed them! Aren’t they fun??!! Hope your kids loved the special treat and thanks for stopping by!

I’m here in Canada and whoo hoo! I just happened to have a box in my cupboard. Not sure when and where I got them, but they’re here (Specifically, I’m in Kitchener, Ontario). BTW Muffins are yummy and kinda purty too!
