How to Make Vegan Funfetti Pancakes

I know you're excited to start making these easy one-bowl pancakes. Here's what you need to know to perfect this recipe.

Ingredients

If you're looking for more ingredient substitutions, be sure to check out our Ingredient Hacks page:

• Flour: I use organic all-purpose flour from Bob's Red Mill. It's certified vegan. 
• Baking Powder: This helps your Funetti pancakes become light and airy. 
• Vanilla: For the signature nutty, comforting Funfetti flavor. 
• Agave: This liquid sweetener is less refined and has a mild flavor. If you're not vegan, you can substitute with honey. Other vegan-friendly sweeter options include maple syrup, date syrup or coconut sugar. 
• Almond Milk: You can easily substitute this with soy milk, rice milk, coconut milk (my NEW Fave!), oat milk, hemp milk, or even dairy milk if you're not vegan
  
• Apple Cider Vinegar: This adds a bit of tang and acidity to turn your almond milk into vegan buttermilk. Baking powder needs some acid to activate. 
• Vegan Butter: you can also use regular butter or coconut or avocado oil to cook the pancakes. 
• Vegan Rainbow Sprinkles: These are anon-negotabile!

Pancake Topping Ideas

You're already eating (healthier) funfetti for breakfast, so why not go all out with fun toppings? 

I love serving these vegan pancakes with:

• Coconut whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
• More vegan rainbow sprinkles
• A drizzle of agave, maple syrup or honey (for non-vegans)
• Chopped nuts
• Fresh fruit, especially berries

Tricks to Make the Best Vegan Pancakes 

LOW + SLOW IS BEST.

When it comes to cooking your pancakes, keeping the heat on low is the key. This ensures that your pancakes are fully cooked through without making the outsides dark before their time.

DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOUR LEAVENERS AREN’T EXPIRED.

Ensuring that the leaveners that are used (baking powder, baking soda, etc) aren’t expired and are completely fresh. This ensures that your pancakes rise at their best and are super fluffy as intended.

NO OVER-MIXING, PLEASE!

Once all ingredients are well combined after stirring with a spatula, stop mixing. Remember, you want airy, fluffy pancakes—not chewy pancakes due to the gluten formulating from over-mixing.

USE THE CORRECT PAN!

I find that using a flat cast-iron griddle works the best when making pancakes. Unfortunately, a regular sauté pan isn’t flat enough (slopped sides?) aren’t friendly in making the perfect stack.

DON’T FLIP THOSE PANCAKES JUST YET!

I’ve been guilty of this in the past. Be patient and don't flip the pancakes until the bubbles have ‘popped’ and opened into holes. This means that all of the bottom is formed and OK to flip. Otherwise, your pancake might fall apart when you try to flip it. 

That’s that. Follow these simple tricks and those pancakes on your table are sure to be perfect for everyone!

Can I Make Gluten-Free & Vegan Funfetti Pancakes?

Yes! You can make this recipe gluten-free with a simple swap. Simply replace the flour with a gluten-free flour blend (I recommend Bob's Red Mill brand). If the batter is thinner than you'd like, add more flour, ¼ cup at a time until it is thick but pourable.
