04 - Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and gently stir just until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing for tender results.
05 - Fold in rainbow sprinkles gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Divide batter evenly among the muffin tin, filling each compartment approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin center emerges clean.
