Confetti Pancakes

November 19, 2020 by Amber Leave a Comment

Confetti Pancakes is a fun recipe made with basic baking ingredients, cake mix and plenty of sprinkles finished with a simple glaze and whipped topping. 

Sometimes, food just needs to be fun! Maybe there is a birthday in the family, special occasion or celebration…. maybe you just want to do something out of the ordinary for the kids on a Sunday morning. Confetti Pancakes are a recipe I like to toss together on occasion for any of those reasons.

Confetti Pancakes

Confetti Pancakes have a regular pancake batter but a little bit of cake mix is added so that cake flavor really comes through in each bite. Rainbow sprinkles are mixed into the batter for a fun pop of color which kids especially love. Instead of maple syrup on top of these pancakes, a glaze is used to amp up that yum factor! Gosh, dear I say it is like eating dessert for breakfast. 

Sprinkles

The type of sprinkles used is actually somewhat important. Some sprinkles are made with just a color coated outside and the inside of the sprinkle is dull so when cooked inside a recipe, that dullness can come through. Make sure your sprinkles have color throughout so all the colors of the rainbow are vibrant for these Confetti Pancakes.
