    Healthy Funfetti Pancakes. My light and fluffy funfetti pancakes are made without cake mix! I just updated my recipe to include options for gluten free and dairy free! See the notes in the recipe card at the bottom for these options.

    My Healthy Funfetti Pancake Recipe is:

    • Light and fluffy
    • Great for birthday breakfast
    • Gluten Free option
    • Dairy Free option

    These healthy funfetti pancakes are super easy to make and even more fun to surprise someone with!

    If I had to pick a favorite flavor, I think that would be so hard! But, one of my favorite flavors is definitely cake batter. Cookies, cupcakes, and now pancakes!

    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!
