Birthday Cake Pancakes


Ki requested a special birthday breakfast for his special day a few months ago, so he got these ultra "healthy" (not) pancakes! A big win! So fluffy and super sweet! I found this recipe on tasteoflizzyt.com

Birthday Cake Pancakes

1 box funfetti cake mix (or any yellow cake mix with sprinkles added)
1 1/3 cup white flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tblsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup canola oil
3 eggs
2 1/3 cups milk
1/3 cup sprinkles

Frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tblsp butter, softened
2 Tblsp half and half cream (I used milk)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cake mix. Set aside. In another small bowl, mix together the oil, eggs, and milk. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in the sprinkles. Batter will be thick. Add a little more milk if its too thick.
Heat a griddle to about 275 degrees. Spray the griddle with cooking spray. Ladle the pancake batter onto the hot pan and cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes on each side.
In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, softened butter, cream and vanilla. This frosting will be at a spreadable consistency. If you want to drizzle it, microwave the frosting for about 10 seconds and stir, then drizzle over the pancakes. Double the frosting recipe if desired. EnJOY!
