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.

I made these for my girls yesterday morning for breakfast for something fun. They were awesome! The texture of the muffins was perfect – they were soft and moist with an almost cupcake-like crumb. The fruity pebble addition was both colorful and added a little bit of flavor. But the muffin itself – so great! I will be making these again with a cup of fresh diced peaches in place of the cereal and experimenting with other add-ins.
If you’ve been thinking about trying these – DO IT!

Thank you for the kind words! We thought it was a really fun breakfast and I really love the idea of adding in some fruit! My kids are big fruit lovers so I bet they would like it even more!
Amber Roberts says
The breakfast muffins are awesome! I seriously cannot get my two year old to eat anything and she chowed these down! Thank you thank you!
Kimber says
I am so glad that you love them! Making food fun sure does make it easier with toddlers! I have three little ones of my own.

Would these work as cupcakes, in a liner, and able to frost? I’m thinking these would be super fun for my son’s birthday party!
Karen says
To the person who just asked about these for her sons bday party, I would make them first and see bc my kids didn’t like them when they cooled down nearly as much. They’re delicious when warm tho!!
Lisa says
Thanks, that’s probably a good idea. His birthday is in the middle of the week and party that next weekend. I think I will make them on his birthday morning, and see how it goes.
