Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then add milk and melted butter. Whisk these wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot griddle. Sprinkle a few mini marshmallows on top of each pancake while the first side is cooking.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look slightly dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- After removing from the griddle, immediately sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the warm pancakes.
- Serve hot, optionally drizzled with additional melted chocolate or maple syrup for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir just until they are incorporated. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to lighter pancakes.
- Perfect Heat: Ensure your griddle or skillet is at medium heat. If it's too hot, the pancakes will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining raw inside.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add more chocolate chips, use flavored syrups, or even top with whipped cream for an extra special treat.
- Keep Them Warm: If you're making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Add a Twist: For a fun variation, try adding peanut butter chips or crushed nuts into the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these pancakes with a drizzle of melted chocolate or maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast experience that will leave everyone wanting more!
