🔪 How to Make Smores Pancakes
Step 1: Whisk together the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: in a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients
In a different bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla until well blended.
Step 3: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk or stir until mixed. Small lumps are acceptable but all large lumps should be gone.
Step 4: Preheat a skillet or griddle
Heat a skillet or griddle to approximately 300 degrees. Prepare the skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the skillet or griddle
Scoop the smores pancake batter onto the prepared cooking surface leaving room for the pancakes to spread slightly. Sprinkle the pancakes with chocolate chips.
Step 6: Flip the pancakes and continue cooking
Cook for about 3 minutes or until bubbles pop to the top. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancakes are cooked through.
Step 7: Preheat the oven, and line a baking sheet
Meanwhile, preheat the oven broiler. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. As the pancakes are done, place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8: Assemble the pancakes with toppings
On top of the pancakes, spread a small layer of marshmallow cream. Sprinkle the marshmallow cream with miniature marshmallow and chocolate chips.
Step 9: Broil the pancakes
Place the pans until the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes or until the marshmallows have browned to your desired color.
Step 10: Top the pancakes with graham cracker crumbs
Once the baking sheet is removed from the oven, sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs. Repeat for the remaining pancakes. For some layers, marshmallow cream can be omitted.
Step 11: Serve and enjoy
Stack the pancakes prior to serving or serve in single layers. Garnish with chopped chocolate bars or chocolate curls, if desired.
Note: To make chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler to scrape the side of a milk chocolate bar.

💭 Tips
Here are some tips to help to make sure that these Smores Pancakes turn out perfectly everytime you make them.
- When measuring the flour, don’t scoop it out of the container with the measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour around in the container, dip the measuring cup into the flour, and level it off with a knife.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup and then adding enough milk to equal 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- You can also use self-rising flour in this recipe. Just omit the baking powder and salt.
- Once you combine the wet and dry ingredients be careful to not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
- To get perfect circles when pouring the batter into the skillet or griddle, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
- If you want to make these pancakes ahead of time, cook them and then keep them warm in a 200-degree oven until you’re ready to serve.
- Take this treat over the top, by giving it a drizzle of chocolate sauce or chocolate syrup on top.
- You can tell the pancakes are ready to flip when small bubbles appear and then pop on top of the pancakes.
- I recommend greasing your pan with butter, but you can also use nonstick cooking spray.
- I like to top my warm pancakes with maple syrup, but you can also use pancake syrup or even marshmallow syrup.
