Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk recommended; almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Red gel food coloring
- Blue gel food coloring
- Yellow gel food coloring
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; small lumps are okay.
- Divide batter evenly into three small bowls. Add 4-5 drops of red gel food coloring to one, blue to another, and yellow to the last. Stir gently until colors are vibrant and uniform.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- Using a small spoon or ladle, drop about 1 tablespoon of each colored batter into each muffin cup in random order. Swirl colors gently with a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect without overmixing.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and edges are set but soft.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or favorite toppings.
Notes
Use gel food coloring to keep batter thick and colors vibrant. Avoid overmixing batter to maintain fluffiness. Fresh baking powder is essential for airy texture. If batter is too runny, add a tablespoon of flour. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk for dietary needs.
