Directions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. - Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well blended. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend if you prefer. However, keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly.
2. Can I make these pancakes without chocolate chips?
Yes, you can omit the chocolate chips if you prefer a less rich flavor, or replace them with other ingredients like dried fruit or nuts.
3. Can I add more graham cracker crumbs?
Absolutely! If you love the graham cracker flavor, feel free to add more graham cracker crumbs to the batter for an extra crunch.
4. How do I make the marshmallows extra gooey?
Add the mini marshmallows right after flipping the pancakes so they get lightly toasted and slightly melted on top. You can also put a lid on the pan for a few seconds to help melt the marshmallows.
5. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
You can prepare the pancake batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using.
6. Can I make these pancakes without graham cracker crumbs?
Yes, you can still make the pancakes without graham cracker crumbs. They’ll still taste delicious, but the graham flavor won’t be as prominent.
7. Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze the pancakes by laying them flat on a baking sheet, freezing them, and then storing them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in the toaster or on a skillet when ready to serve.
8. Can I make these pancakes fluffier?
To make your pancakes fluffier, make sure not to overmix the batter, and try letting it rest for a few minutes before cooking. This helps the baking powder activate and results in fluffier pancakes.
9. Can I use milk alternatives like almond or oat milk?
Yes, you can substitute the whole milk with any milk alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk. Just make sure to choose an unsweetened version for a balanced flavor.
10. How do I make these pancakes sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter pancake, you can add a little extra sugar to the batter or top them with more syrup, honey, or whipped cream.
