These Funfetti Waffles are a delicious treat to celebrate any special occasion. And what a great way to start a special day!
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this is a great kid-friendly recipe. Kids can help out making and serving them - and, of course, eating them. These funfetti waffles are a unique twist on the classic Belgian waffle, and they are so much fun!
I was recently watching an episode of one of my favorite Food Network shows, The Kitchen, and they were talking all about “funfetti recipes” by adding sprinkles to the recipes. Sprinkles make food look happier…is it just me, or do you see that too?
There is something about the bright, beautiful colors that dress up your food and make it look happier…so then you feel happier too. So that weekend, we decided to add sprinkles to our Belgian Waffle recipe. We normally make them plain and add some chocolate chips and sometimes strawberries, but I will tell you, when we had these Funfetti Waffles, I smiled as they were on my plate.
Funfetti Waffle Ingredients
One thing you will need to make these waffles is a good waffle maker. As for the ingredients, you probably have most, if not all, of them already in your house.
- All-Purpose Flour
- Granulated Sugar
- Baking Powder
- Milk
- Salt
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Vanilla Extract
- Rainbow Sprinkles
- Additional sprinkles to sprinkle over the finished waffles
- Cool Whip or Whipped Cream, optional
How to Make Funfetti Waffles
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat eggs in a medium bowl, then add in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together.
- Combine the egg mixture and the flour mixture. Mix in the sprinkles.
- Pour one cup of batter into one side of the waffle maker.
- Close and flip the waffle maker. Cook for three minutes or until they are lightly browned.
- It is best to serve them warm. And add more sprinkles, because why not?!
- Top with cool whip or whipped cream, too, again... why not?
To make your waffles look even more fun, try putting a nice round scoop of cool whip on them. The trick to get that look is to put your ice cream or cookie scoop in hot water and then scoop out your thawed cool whip. Looks like a perfect scoop on top of your waffle! Top that with - you guessed it - more sprinkles!
These Funfetti Waffles would be great for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or someone’s birthday breakfast. Although, really, any day would be made happier with these for breakfast. You don’t need a special day.
What to Serve with Waffles
Serve your funfetti waffles with a warm cup of coffee and some fresh fruit. You can also serve them with a kiwi strawberry fruit smoothie. I have tons of delicious kid-friendly smoothies that you can choose from!

My kids love how the funfetti jazz up the waffles but I love the smell of the waffles cooking in the morning. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my father used to make homemade pancakes on the weekend.
