These S'mores Pancakes are soft, fluffy and American-style thick. They're perfect for a cozy fall/winter brunch or just as a sweet breakfast treat. This small batch recipe makes 8 pancakes, so you can enjoy them without any leftovers.

These S’mores Pancakes weren’t even on my to do list lol. It all started with a random thought on a Saturday afternoon while I was planning Sunday breakfast. I originally wanted simple Chocolate Chip Pancakes, but that felt too basic and I needed something more special. That’s how this recipe came to life.

What makes them special is the finely crushed graham crackers mixed right into the batter, so every bite has that classic S’mores flavor without being overwhelming. For the topping, I first wanted to go with a store-bought marshmallow fluff, but since I didn’t have any, I improvised with a simple graham cracker frosting. Yes, graham crackers in both the batter and frosting…but trust me it works, especially if you love that cozy graham taste.

I also added a quick chocolate ganache drizzle, though if you’re short on time (or just feeling lazy), melting some milk chocolate in the microwave and drizzling it over the top does the trick. Finally I topped everything with marshmallows and toasted them with a kitchen torch for that campfire finish.

I’m really proud of how these turned out, they were super comforting and delicious. I hope you give them a try!

Tools you will need for this recipe

Non stick pan - for cooking the pancakes
Food processor OR ziplock bag- to finely crush the graham crackers (see FAQs below)
Kitchen torch - for toasting the marshmallows

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I skip the graham crackers in the batter? Yes! The pancakes will still be soft and fluffy, just without that signature S’mores flavor.

2. How do I crush graham crackers?

Option 1: Pulse them in a food processor until fine.
Option 2: Place in a ziplock bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs.

3. Can I skip the chocolate ganache? Yes you can. Just melt some milk chocolate in the microwave and drizzle it on.

4. How many pancakes does this recipe make? It makes 8 thick, American style pancakes.

5. Can I skip the graham cracker frosting? Yes! Swap it for store-bought marshmallow fluff for an easier (and still delicious) topping.

6. Why are my pancakes raw in the middle? Most likely the heat was too high. Cook over medium low heat and don’t make them too thick. Wait for bubbles to form on top before flipping and give each side 2-3 minutes.

7. Can I make these without a kitchen torch? Yes. Broil the topped pancakes in the oven for 1-2 minutes or skip toasting entirely.

8. What if I don’t have an ice cream scoop? Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup or a ladle to portion the batter.

Step by step instructions with photos

1. For the batter whisk together the flour, baking powder, finely crushed graham crackers and brown sugar.

3. Using an ice cream scoop or a laddle, scoop portions of batter (60g) into a non stick, buttered pan.

4. Cook over medium heat until bubbles appear on the top. Then flip and cook for an additional minute or two.

5. While you cook the pancakes, you can prepare the frosting and the chocolate ganache.
