Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cake mix. Set aside. 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 box Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix
  2. In another small bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs and milk. 1/3 cup canola oil, 3 large eggs, 2 1/3 cups 2% milk
  3. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in the sprinkles. Batter will be thick. (If you'd like thinner pancakes, you can add a bit more milk.) 1/3 cup sprinkles
  4. Heat a griddle to about 250-275 degrees Fahrenheit (low heat so the pancakes do not burn). Spray the griddle with cooking spray. 
  5. Ladle the pancake batter onto the hot pan and cook the pancakes for about 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start forming in the batter. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute or until cooked through.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, softened butter, cream and vanilla. This frosting will be at a spreadable consistency. If you'd like to drizzle the frosting, microwave the frosting for about 10 seconds and stir, then drizzle over the pancakes. 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons salted butter, 2 tablespoons half & half cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Notes

  • This recipes makes about 22 5" pancakes.
  • The calories shown are based on the recipe making 22 pancakes, with 1 serving being 2 pancakes. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. The information in the nutrition box are calculated through a program and there is room for error. If you need an accurate count, I recommend running the ingredients through your favorite nutrition calculator.**
  • If you'd like buttermilk pancakes, use buttermilk in place of the milk, then reduce the baking powder to 1 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  • Use jimmies or nonpareils. The color may start to come off the sprinkles and color the batter, so add them at the very end.
  • Refrigerate any leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
  • These pancakes freeze well. Place wax paper between each pancake and put them in a Ziploc bag. The wax paper will help them to separate easily.
