Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, sour cream, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg whites until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, ensuring no flour streaks remain.
Gently fold in the funfetti sprinkles, being careful not to over-mix.
Fill each cupcake well about 3/4 full using a large ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Once completely cool, frost with vanilla buttercream and top with additional sprinkles.
Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
You can substitute buttermilk with whole milk if necessary.
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract to the batter.
