- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites (room temperature)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Fold in rainbow sprinkles.
- Pour the batter into prepared mason jars, filling each about halfway. Place them on a baking tray and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
