Fruity Pebbles Muffins are a fun and delicious breakfast or snack treat, featuring crunchy Fruity Pebbles cereal baked into a fluffy muffin base. These colorful muffins are sweet, light, and customizable, perfect for kids and cereal lovers alike.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. Fold in the Cereal: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal. Be sure to keep the cereal intact, folding it in carefully.
  6. Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top of each muffin for a colorful finish.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Glazed Muffins: For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the muffins once they’ve cooled.

Substitute the Cereal: While Fruity Pebbles are the star, you can substitute any colorful cereal like Lucky Charms or Trix for a fun variation.

Add-ins: Mix in some chocolate chips or dried fruit for an extra touch of flavor.
