Vegan Birthday Cake Pancakes (Funfetti Pancakes)
These vegan birthday cake pancakes (or funfetti pancakes) are the perfect breakfast treat to start off any birthday celebrations! It’s super easy to make, using simple pantry items and of course, sprinkles! They are fluffy, light, and taste like birthday cake!
You can stack them up tall and top it with some vegan yogurt, whipped cream, coconut whip, or ice cream. Then add more sprinkles on top for a colorful and fun pancake stack. It is sure to brighten anyone’s day and make them smile.
This vegan birthday cake pancake recipe is based off of my vegan buttermilk pancake recipe and it tastes just like birthday cake, but way easier to make! You don’t need a cake mix and can whip it up in one bowl.
To make make sure you get tall, fluffy pancakes, do not overmix the batter. Letting the batter rest for a few minutes is also important too! This will ensure that the pancakes are light and fluffy.
