Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 ounce) white cake mix
  • 1 package (3.9 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided)
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon Christmas sprinkles (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a jumbo muffin pan with 12 jumbo muffin liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt: Stir in the plain Greek yogurt thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the white cake mix and instant vanilla pudding mix to the wet ingredients. Use a spoon to gently fold the ingredients together just until combined—avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles: Gently fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, and the tablespoon of Christmas sprinkles to give the batter a festive look and taste.
  6. Fill muffin liners and add topping: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin liners. Then sprinkle the tops with the remaining chocolate chips and a few extra Christmas sprinkles for added decoration and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm as desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to avoid dense muffins.
  • Using jumbo muffin liners helps maintain muffin shape and prevents sticking.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
