Funfetti Pancakes are soft, fluffy, and full of colorful sprinkles. You can cook them to start your perfect morning with a smile! Made with buttermilk, a hint of butter, and a quick sweet glaze, these pancakes are super easy to whip up and always a hit among kids and grown-ups alike.

Instructions

First, take a bowl and add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix everything well so it’s all combined.
Now, add the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk. Stir gently to make a smooth batter. Don’t overmix it. It should be just enough so everything blends nicely.
Next, add the funfetti sprinkles and mix them in softly. This will give your batter those cute little pops of color.
Now, grease a pan with a little butter and heat it on medium flame.
Then, pour about 1/3 cup of batter using a ladle or measuring cup, and let it spread a bit. Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Once all the pancakes are ready, it’s time for the glaze. Just mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter together.
Now, drizzle that glaze over the pancakes, then top with whipped cream and a few extra sprinkles. And just like that, your fun and tasty Funfetti Pancakes are ready to enjoy!

Pro Tips & Variations

If you want your Funfetti Pancakes to turn out even more perfect, here are a few small tips to keep in mind.

Don’t overmix the batter: Just mix it enough so everything comes together. If you mix too much, the pancakes can turn out tough.

Add the sprinkles at the end: This helps keep their colors bright and stops them from melting too much into the batter.

Keep the pan at medium heat: If it’s too hot, the pancakes might burn on the outside and stay raw inside.

Want to try something different?: You can add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter, or swap the glaze for a little honey as it gives a fun new twist.

Presentation matters too: When serving to kids, sprinkle a few extra sprinkles on top. And if you’re sharing with friends, add a swirl of whipped cream as it looks great and feels special.

Just a few simple tricks, and your pancakes will be even more fun and tasty!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

If you have some pancakes left over or want to make them ahead of time, no worries. Here’s how you can store and reheat them easily.

Storage:

Let the pancakes cool down completely first. Then, place them in an airtight container or a ziplock bag. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them as they’ll be good for about a month.

Reheating:

For pancakes from the fridge, just warm them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or lightly toast them in a toaster. This will make them soft and fluffy again.
For frozen pancakes, let them sit at room temperature for a little while, then heat them the same way and they’ll taste just like new!

Serving Suggestions

Look, there are so many fun ways to serve these Funfetti Pancakes that you’ll never get bored!

For breakfast, serve them warm, drizzle some glaze on top, and add a little whipped cream. Your kids will be happy in no time.
And if you want to keep it less sweet, just go with a little maple syrup or honey.
Sometimes, I also add sliced bananas or strawberries on top as it brings a bit of freshness and makes the plate look even better.
Oh, and if you’re hosting a party brunch, stack up these mini pancakes and sprinkle some colorful sprinkles on top. Trust me, everyone will ask you for the recipe!
