    Tips & Tricks for Funfetti Pancakes

    stirring sprinkles into batter for making funfetti pancakes

    Mixing

    You don't need a hand mixer for this recipe. Just grab a whisk to whip up the batter. This batter is so easy to mix together, but if you want to use a mixer, go right ahead!

    Sprinkles

    Jimmies sprinkles are great for funfetti as they are soft and cook up properly. If you use really hard sprinkles, they will make your pancakes crunchy when you bite into them.

    Hot Griddle

    Make sure that the griddle is nice and hot when you go to cook your pancakes. Otherwise, it will not create the golden brown sear on the pancakes that you need.

    Variations to Funfetti Pancakes

    Extract

    These days, you can even find birthday cake extract! If you can find some, you might want to add some to your pancakes for an extra birthday cake flavor and vibe. Start with about 2–3 drops of extract, but if the flavor isn't strong enough, go ahead and add more.

    Pancake Mix

    Feel free to use a store bought pancake mix instead of making homemade pancakes. It's up to you to decide how you want to make your pancakes. Just make sure to add in the sprinkles before cooking!

    Funfetti Pancakes FAQs

    Can you freeze these pancakes?

    You can definitely freeze these funfetti pancakes. Just allow them to cool, then flash freeze them on a baking sheet. Once the pancakes have frozen stiff enough to stack, transfer them to a freezer container or bag. Then you can store them in the freezer for 3–4 months. When you're ready to eat them again, just thaw your pancakes in the fridge overnight or warm them up in the microwave.

    Does this recipe double well?

    This recipe absolutely doubles well. If you want to make extra pancakes, just double—or even triple—this recipe as needed. Then just batch cook the pancakes and enjoy.

    How do you reheat pancakes?

    To reheat pancakes, place them in the microwave and warm them up in 20–30 second increments. Once the pancakes are warm, serve. If your pancake feels like it's drying out, place a small cup of water in the microwave with the pancakes. This will add moisture to the pancakes as they reheat.
