Funfetti Biscotti for Breakfast

Today’s biscotti is also inspired by cake: Birthday Cake!

I love a piece of biscotti for breakfast, so why not make a batch filled with sprinkles and delicious cake flavor.

  • Birthday Cake Biscotti have a buttery flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness.
  • They taste like just like funfetti cake baked into crisp crunchy breakfast cookies.
  • Serve them for a birthday breakfast, dessert or afternoon treat.
  • Delicious with a cup of hot coffee for dunking!

Important Ingredients

This biscotti dough starts with a simple mixture of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Give it a cake batter twist with these other additions:

  • Butter flavoring – This extract gives the biscotti an even richer, more buttery flavor.
  • Sprinkles – We used rainbow sprinkles for a festive look! Jimmies sprinkles or round “confetti” sprinkles are perfect.
  • White chocolate wafers – Ghirardelli brand is best. The wafers melt smoothly and set up beautifully on the biscotti.

How to Make Birthday Biscotti

Making Birthday Cake Biscotti is easier than you might think.

  • Mix together the dough ingredients and fold in half of the sprinkles. Shape the dough into two logs and bake for about 25 minutes.
  • Now, cut the dough into slices and bake again until golden brown on both sides.
  • Dip the tops of cooled biscotti in melted white chocolate. Immediately add the remaining sprinkles on top.

Let the chocolate set for a few minutes, then eat and enjoy!

Your birthday cake version looks so fun, and that’s so sweet of you to share them with your friend for her birthday too!

    1. Oh it’s seriously so easy! And if you put it in a ziploc bag they last for about two weeks. If they start to get stale, it’s okay, dunk them in the coffee ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Happy birthday! These biscotti are super fun and cute! July is birthday month for us over here, so I’m going to have to whip up a batch of these!!

  12. Do you get unlimited coffee on your birthday? YOU totally should!
    These biscotti look so festive! I’m amazed you didn’t buy any that one time. But I’m sure yours are better anyway!

    1. I sure do ๐Ÿ™‚ I prefer homemade biscotti over store bought. I’m always disappointed when I buy it…much like cupcakes…
