Lucky Charms Pancakes are fun and festive colored fluffy pancakes filled with sweet marshmallows.
One of my favorite things about these pancakes is that it uses my favorite childhood cereal. Let me share a secret with you, I used to pick all the marshmallows out of the box of Lucky Charms and my mom would get so mad at me. With this Lucky Charms Pancakes recipe you get to pick the marshmallows out of the cereal and we won’t even tell your mom!
Frequently Asked Questions About Lucky Charms Pancakes?
Can I make my own pancake mix
Absolutely you can make your own homemade pancake mix. I mix together the following ingredients in my food processor to make my own bisquick mix. Use cold butter not melted or softened butter. If you do not have a food processor you can simply cut in your butter using a pastry cutter or two forks or a fork and knife to act as a pastry cutter. If you are using the homemade pancake mix recipe to make your Lucky Charms pancakes you will want to add milk instead of water to your mix.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Can I make these ahead and freeze them
Yes! Pancakes freeze amazingly well. IEvery time that I make pancakes and we have some leftover pancakes they go straight into the freezer for a busy morning. You could totally make the entire batch of Lucky Charms Pancakes and freeze them. I like to wrap my pancakes individually in plastic wrap and then place into a freezer bag and freeze. To thaw I remove the number of pancakes that I need for the meal and allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.
How do I reheat Lucky Charms pancakes?
Do you have pancakes leftover and want to reheat your pancakes, you have a couple different options. If you like soft pancakes and don’t mind them not being crispy, reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high until they are warm all the way through. If you want a more crispy outside the preheat a skillet or griddle add a very small amount of butter to the pan and then place your pancakes on the griddle or pan. Allow to cook on each side for two to three minutes, and then remove from the pan when completely warm. You can also reheat your pancakes in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, place your leftover pancakes on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, bake for 5 to 8 minutes until your pancakes are warm through the center.
