Birthday Funfetti Pancakes

Birthday Funfetti Pancakes are loaded with rainbow sprinkles then topped with melted icing and even more sprinkles. These taste like funfetti cupcakes and are great for a birthday breakfast or for adding a little fun to breakfast any day of the week.
Pro Tip
The batter should not be overmixed once the sprinkles are added (step #2) since the sprinkles will start to bleed their colors in the wet batter. For more than 6 pancakes, it is best to make another batch rather than doubling the recipe.

These come together in minutes using a combination of pancake mix and either white or yellow cake mix for that extra cake batter flavor.

Fluffy pancakes loaded with rainbow sprinkles then topped with melted vanilla icing and even more sprinkles.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup boxed cake mix (white or yellow cake mix is best)

  • 1/2 cup dry pancake mix

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 tablespoon oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon clear or pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles, plus more for topping

  • 1/4 cup canned vanilla icing

Directions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together dry cake mix, pancake mix, and baking powder.
  • Add egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract then whisk until smooth. Fold in sprinkles.
  • Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup batter and gently pour onto the griddle. Cook until the pancakes appear dry around the edges and bubbles form in the middle, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 10-15 seconds until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Place the icing in a small bowl or glass measuring cup and microwave until smooth and pourable, about 10 seconds. Top pancakes with melted icing and additional sprinkles then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pancakes are best served warm but leftovers may be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.
