02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, lemon-lime soda, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth.
04 - Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
05 - Fold in rainbow sprinkles and pretzel pieces with a rubber spatula, ensuring even distribution.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
07 - In a small bowl, blend melted butter, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Drizzle or brush over the surface of each muffin. Optionally, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top.
08 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
09 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
