These Funfetti Pancakes are light, fluffy, and filled with rainbow sprinkles, turning breakfast into a celebration. Topped with a sweet vanilla glaze and whipped cream, they taste like birthday cake in pancake form—perfect for weekends or special occasions.

Ingredients

Pancakes:

1 3/4 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons butter, melted (plus more for greasing the pan)

2 large eggs

1 3/4 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

2/3 cup rainbow sprinkles

Pancake Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/8 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract

1 tablespoon butter, melted

Suggested Toppings:

Whipped cream

Extra rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and whisk gently until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in rainbow sprinkles.
  4. Let the batter rest for 3 minutes while heating a griddle or skillet over medium heat (about 350°F).
  5. Grease the pan lightly with butter and pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden brown.
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm oven (300°F) to keep them warm while finishing the rest.
  7. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, and extract until smooth and glossy.
  8. Stack pancakes, drizzle with glaze, top with whipped cream and extra sprinkles, and serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.

Use nonpareils or jimmies for sprinkles that don’t melt into the batter.

Swap the glaze for maple syrup or fruit compote for a lighter option.

Freeze leftover pancakes between layers of parchment for easy reheating.

Mix half whole wheat flour with all-purpose for extra fiber.
