HOW DO YOU MAKE PANCAKES LIGHT AND FLUFFY?
The key to light and fluffy funfetti pancakes is baking powder! After whisking all your ingredients together, let your batter sit for a couple of minutes and you will notice the batter has become much lighter from the baking powder!
HOW TO MAKE ALL NATURAL HEALTHY FUNFETTI PANCAKES WITHOUT CAKE MIX
INGREDIENTS IN FUNFETTI PANCAKES:
- White wheat flour, oat flour, or 1:1 gluten free flour
- Baking powder (aluminum free)
- Pink sea salt
- Egg
- Vanilla soy milk (organic), or milk of choice
- Pure vanilla extract
- Butter (organic), or melted coconut oil
- Natural rainbow sprinkles
TOOLS:
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Frying pan
FUNFETTI PANCAKES INSTRUCTIONS:
First, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set this bowl aside.
Next, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don't over mix the matter or you can end up with tough pancakes. And we want them to be light and fluffy!
Finally, stir your rainbow sprinkles in! I used this size of sprinkles, but if you have the ball shaped ones, those work too!
Scoop the batter by either ⅓ or ½ cup scoops onto an oiled griddle. Cook them until bubbles form on top. Flip them and cook the other side until it is just golden brown.
Enjoy!
HOW TO STORE CAKE BATTER PANCAKES
If you ended up making too many like I did, layer them between parchment paper in an airtight container to store in the freezer.
Try my coconut whipped cream recipe!
All you need is a chilled can of full fat coconut milk and some hand held beaters!
Make a wish! Every day is a day to celebrate!
