Equipment

Method

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients until no lumps remain and the mixture is homogenous.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, water, oil, and fat-free yogurt until the wet batter is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a silicone spatula to fold the mixture together until just combined.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with 3-4 quick motions to prevent the colors from bleeding into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cavities and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

High Protein Funfetti Muffins Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE & MOUTHFEEL: These muffins should be light and tender with a bakery-style crumb. If they feel dense or rubbery, you likely overmixed the batter after adding the wet ingredients.

PROTEIN SUBSTITUTION WARNING: This recipe is specifically formulated for Soy Protein Isolate. Swapping it for Whey or a Casein blend will significantly alter the moisture requirements and may lead to a dry or collapsed muffin.

THE BETTER LATER RULE: These muffins actually improve after sitting for about 2 hours in an airtight container. This allows the soy protein to fully hydrate and the flavors of the vanilla and butter powder to mellow and meld.

PROFESSIONAL FINISHING TOUCH: For the best experience, serve these at room temperature. If you have been storing them in the fridge, a quick 15-second zap in the microwave will reactivate the fats in the oil and yogurt for a softer, fresh-baked bite.
