These Birthday Funfetti Sprinkle Vegan Pancakes are the ultimate celebratory breakfast! Fluffy, sweet, and bursting with colors, they are topped with a rich vegan cream cheese icing that makes every bite taste like birthday cake.
1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup regular all purpose flour (or King Arthur Measure for Measure GF flour)
3 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles
2 tablespoon melted vegan butter (for icing)
2 oz vegan cream cheese (for icing)
¾ cup powdered sugar (for icing)
1. In one bowl, mix the sugar, baking powder, almond or oat milk, and vanilla. Then, whisk in the flour until the batter is smooth.
2. Heat a non stick skillet to medium heat on the stove. Spray with cooking oil or use vegan butter to coat the pan.
3. Once the oil or butter is hot, spoon in about 3 tablespoon of batter per pancake. Then, sprinkle in the sprinkles on the top of the batter. Cook until bubbles form in the pancakes and then flip. It should be golden browned.
4. To make your cream cheese icing, mix the melted butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. If the icing is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out or melt slightly before pouring.
Do not substitute almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe; it requires a structural flour like AP or King Arthur GF.
Wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping to ensure a fluffy interior.
Add the sprinkles to the batter while it is in the pan to prevent the colors from bleeding into the whole mix.
