# List of ingredients:

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined; avoid overmixing.
05 - Gently fold the rainbow sprinkles into the batter, distributing them uniformly throughout.
06 - Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Bake in the center of the oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving or decorating.
