Colorful muffins – they just look special. I admit, I only came up with this because of my daughter, as she watched baking videos on a video channel very often where the batter is colored over and over again. So it didn't take long before she came to me and said she wanted to try it too.

Yes, and today we finally tried it: rainbow muffins. Here we have the recipe and photos of our work:

Anyone who wants to can now decorate these muffins accordingly.

Ideas for decorations

Colorful sprinkles or chocolate

Here you can use colorful sprinkles or sugar pearls. If you like, you can also decorate the muffins with chocolate drizzles (melt couverture and fill into a piping bag or a freezer bag and cut off a small corner).

Conclusion

Rainbow muffins - Muffins with food coloringOur muffins turned out a little small because we somehow didn't have enough batter. In terms of color, we think the muffins look very good and bring color to the afternoon table.

Baking was fun, my daughter especially liked mixing the colors together. (She started dividing the colors into the molds and then said it was too exhausting ? – so plan for the young pastry chefs to lose interest).

I think these rainbow muffins are ideal for carnival parties or children's birthdays where something special should be served. Children like it colorful and this recipe is just right.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) top and bottom heat.

  2. Fill the muffin tin with paper liners or brush it lightly with oil and place it in the refrigerator.

  3. First, mix the flour with the baking powder in a bowl.

  4. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, the sugar, the vanilla sugar and the yogurt.

  5. Finally, add the oil.

  6. Now you have to decide how many colors you want to prepare and set up exactly that many small bowls.

  7. We decided on 6 colors and therefore divided the batter into 6 bowls.

  8. Now add the desired colors to the batter.

  9. This varies depending on the food coloring; with some a toothpick is enough and with others a bit more.

  10. We used food colorings from Dr. Oetker and added a generous dash so the color shows.

  11. When everything is colored, spoon one color after another into the liners until all the batter colors are used up.

  12. Bake the muffins at 180°C in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes (we needed 25 minutes) until done.

  13. Then remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.

  14. Only then remove them from the pan.

  15. Mix the soft butter with the powdered sugar, the milk and the vanilla extract.

  16. Now divide the buttercream into 4 bowls again and mix with the chosen colors.

  17. Fill a piping bag with each buttercream color in turn and pipe it neatly onto the muffins.
