Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (plus more for topping)
Topping
- 7 ounce jar marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasonings.
- Add wet ingredients: Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and egg until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate cereal: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the batter to add colorful crunch within the pancakes.
- Preheat cooking surface: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with spray oil or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes – side one: Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the skillet allowing space between pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges are set, about 1-2 minutes.
- Cook pancakes – side two: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep warm: Remove cooked pancakes from skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
- Prepare marshmallow fluff: Place marshmallow fluff in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds. Stir gently and heat more as needed to achieve a drizzle consistency, watching carefully as it expands.
- Serve: Spoon warm marshmallow fluff over pancakes and sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overmix pancake batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are okay.
- Using a non-stick skillet or griddle and light greasing prevents sticking and promotes even cooking.
- Watch the marshmallow fluff carefully in the microwave as it expands rapidly and can overflow.
- For a fun twist, add small amounts of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
- Pancakes are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) briefly while cooking remaining batches.
