S'mores Pancakes (Vegan and Whole Grain)
Author: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 6 sheets graham crackers ground into crumbs, about ⅔ c (I used whole grain crackers)
  • 1 sheet graham cracker, lightly crushed
  • ¾ c white whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 4 large marshmallows or 12 small/mini marshmallows, chopped (Vegans, see note)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ c unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
  • ¼ c chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Heat griddle to 300°F or a nonstick pan to medium heat, just lightly cooler than you’d normally cook pancakes at.
  2. Whisk together the 6 graham cracker sheets, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and chia seeds.
  3. Remove a few tablespoons of the dry mixture and toss the marshmallows until the cut sides are not sticky. It may help toss a few pieces at a time – this will avoid disastrous messes while cooking!
  4. Add the vanilla extract and almond milk and stir until almond combined. Add chocolate chips and marshmallows and gently stir into the batter. Let set for approximately 5 minutes to let chia seeds gel slightly.
  5. Spritz your pan with nonstick spray and pour batter by ~1/3 c onto the pan. Sprinkle the pancakes with the extra graham cracker to add a little crunch (or save for topping)
  6. These pancakes wont form bubbles on top, so flip after a few minutes when the bottoms are golden brown and cook an extra approximately 2 minutes. Makes 10 pancakes
  7. Serve and enjoy – I liked mind topped with extra graham cracker and chocolate chips, but syrup was surprisingly amazing, too.
Notes
Vegans can use either of these vegan options: Sweet and Sara or Dandies – let me know if you have any other brands you'd recommend!
Calorie content will vary based on your marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker choices, but should fall around 250 – 300 calories for two pancakes.
