Equipment

  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • whisk
  • Mixing spoon
  • Waffle Iron

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 ¾ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • 15.25 oz funfetti cake mix
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ cup sprinkles

Instructions

MAKE THE BATTER:

  • Add the butter and milk to a measuring cup, and heat in the microwave for one minute and thirty seconds, or until the butter is melted.
  • Whisk in the vanilla and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy.
  • Add the milk mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the flour, cake mix, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and mix until just combined (small lumps are ok). Let sit for five minutes.

COOK THE WAFFLES:

  • While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron.
  • Stir in the sprinkles just before cooking.
  • Add the batter and cook according to your waffle maker’s directions.
  • Serve when finished cooking all of the batter.

Notes

  • For a Belgian waffle iron, add 1 cup of batter and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • For my mini waffle maker, ¼ cup of batter cooked for 2-3 minutes was perfect.
