Yesterday morning I was the first one up and wanted to surprise my family with a delicious, comforting breakfast. Judging by the fact that no one left a single bite on their plate, I think I succeeded!
When my sister and I were growing up, our parents took us on camping trips all over Illinois and Wisconsin. We cooked every meal over a campfire and filled our days with bike riding, fishing and exploring. Of course every night had to end with s’mores and my sister and I fell in love with the ooey gooey treat at a young age. (Please tell me some of you out there have tried to make s’mores in the microwave.)
Since my sister shares my affinity for s’mores, I wanted to try my hand at incorporating the flavors from our favorite campfire snack into our morning meal.
I added crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows to Krusteaz Heart Healthy Pancake Mix that the company sent to me to try. The end result was delicious! The pancakes were fluffy and packed with flavor.

Description
Nothing screams Sunday morning like a lazy pancake breakfast in your pajamas. A good way to make Sunday morning pancakes feel extra special is to add a little chocolate to the batter, right?
Ingredients
- 1 cup Krusteaz Heart Healthy Pancake Mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 graham cracker sheets, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: Additional graham crackers, chocolate chips and marshmallows for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed. Batter will be lumpy.
- Heat griddle to 375 degrees (or heat a skillet over medium heat) and spray with cooking spray. Pour slightly less than 1/4 batter per pancake onto griddle.
- Cook pancakes for approximately 90 seconds on each side, until golden.
- Remove pancakes from pan and top with additional graham crackers, chocolate chips, marshmallows and syrup if desired and enjoy!
These pancakes were the perfect Sunday morning treat. If you decide to give them a go, I hope they transport you back to fun times around a campfire with your loved ones, too!
Question of the Morning
- When was the last time you went camping? Any fun stories to share?
- Do you enjoy camping?

oh
ID SO SO SO WIN BEST MOM EVER if I made these after next weekend’s SLEEPOVER!
Haha! I hope all the kids enjoy them if you decide to give them a go! 🙂
My college roommates and I used to make s’mores in our dorm oven–we had hall snacks once a week, and s’mores from the oven were usually one of the most popular items 🙂
Yum! I’m so wishing I had some of these for breakfast right now! 🙂
The last time I went camping, I came to the campground in my swimsuit. Well, I completely forgot the necessary undergarments to wear after swimming. Needless to say, we had to make a trip to Walmart.
I went camping a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time camping in over a decade and the first time I went camping with my in laws. It was a blast and of course we had s’mores. We even had s’mores for breakfast. It was kind of amazing.
These look amazing! the perfect Sunday morning breakfast. My brothers and I loved S’mores growing up and definitely did our fair share of microwave cooking with them!
The last time I went camping we stayed up roasted marshmallows and getting cozy by the fire! but my favorite part of camping, is going hiking!
These pancakes look much better than my Slim Fast shake! Hee
I love that Krusteaz stuff. It’s like pancakes for dummies, which is me. Sometimes I add a little bit a funfetti cake mix to it to make birthday cake pancakes. So good!
These look amazing! Definitely on the menu for next weekend… too bad its only Monday!
Camping in Ireland is hilarious…wet, windy and decidedly chilly. I remember we went when I was 6 for the first time and having to pee in a bucket if we needed to go during the night!
Oooh I’m a huge lover of s’mores but not of camping. I’d rather stay in a temperature-controlled environment and enjoy my s’mores in a kitchen 🙂
OMG! These look like such a treat, Brian (my husband) would love them!
I’m not a camper but I do love pancakes!
I love smores and their burnt marshmallowy goodness! Unfortunately they don’t have any graham crackers in the UK so I always make sure to get a few boxes and some marshmallows when I go back home to bring back with me 🙂
I’m all about pancakes lately, and these sound awesome!
I’m not a huge fan of camping but I do love to hike AND eat s’mores. These pancakes are perfect for me 🙂 This seems like such an easy recipe but a total crowd pleaser. Love it!
S’mores bring such a sense of nostalgia into my life! We went RV camping a ton when I was a kid (still go a couple times a year!) and we always made s’mores, especially in the fall over a small fire. S’mores bring me right back to my childhood everytime I have one! 🙂
These look great, I love S’Mores!
I have fond childhood memories of Girl Scout camping trips, and have enjoyed camping at Wisconsin State Parks as an adult. What was your favorite WI park? My #1 pick will always be Governor Dodge (in Dodgeville, WI near The House on the Rock)!
Those pancakes look SO good! Any excuse to eat s’mores is great in my book 🙂
Oh wow these look amazing! I have to agree I pretty much drool over anything with s’mores in then name, but then that is probably because marshmallows are one of my favorite things in the world!
Yum!!!! I always love chocolate chips added into my waffles or pancakes, but marshmellow and graham cracker?? Ugh this sounds to die for!! Last time I went camping was 11 years ago haha I do have the urge to go again since it’s been so long ago though!
Dessert for breakfast? I can definitely get down with that! I haven’t been camping in YEARS, but I used to love it as a kid. Although when it comes to s’mores… is it blasphemy to say that I actually prefer simple roasted marshmallows on their own? Golden brown on the outside and gooey on the inside? Ohhh perfection.
I also just love the marshmallows! Delish.
OOh lordy these sound fantastic!! I used to always teach the kids I babysat how to make smores in the microwave, they always thought I was a genius!
I’d actually never been camping until I met my now fiancé… and we both LOVE to camp now. I think we are planning a trip with his family sometime in March 🙂
Another s’more recipe that my aunt used to make us that I think you will adore: oat bran (for that healthy addition :)) chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham crackers. The oat bran is a perfect vessel for melting the chocolate and marshmallows. She used to call it s’more cereal.
Those s’mores pancakes look so awesome, can’t wait to make them! I have actually never been camping, can’t say I’m bummed about that either. I wouldn’t mind camping in a camper or something, but that would be about the extent of me and camping 😉
The last time I was camping was this spring when my fiance and I went horn hunting with our four horses. We will be going camping (possibly in the snow) this Friday, Saturday, & Sunday to go elk hunting.
Yum these sound so good! I am going to have to make them for my boyfriend soon 🙂
Oooh I should make these with my sister when I’m back home for Thanksgiving break or Winter break. (I’m at college right now).
I absolutely love camping but I haven’t been for years! S’mores are the best, I grew up going to summer camp in Minnesota and was a counselor as well and they were always a huge hit when we were camping out!
Oh my goodness these look SO delicious! Pancakes in pajamas is definitely a fantastic way to start your Sunday! Christian and I didn’t even get up until noon- haha!
Best. Pancake. Idea. Ever. This sounds amazing and I can’t believe you thought of this creation! Thanks for sharing 🙂
The last time I went camping was a couple summers ago with my brother. While it was a lot of work because we hiked into a back country camping site, it was definitely worth it cause we didn’t see anyone else the whole time we were there.
I love making S’mores in the microwave especially with leftover Peeps! 😀
I absolutely love this idea and the pancakes look delish!! My family doesn’t go camping a whole lot, but we still enjoy our s’mores in the backyard around the fire pit! 😉
I’m a pretty dedicated pancakes-from-scratch kind of girl, but I’ve gotta say, I LOVE Krusteaz pancakes. That was pretty much my dad’s go-to when he made us pancakes growing up, and man oh man did I love them. Making them s’mores-y sounds fantastic!
These are genius!!! I would probably add in some PB for good measure, too! 😉
YUM!!!
In university my room mate and I would make pancakes every Sunday of various flavours! Cinnamon bun was my favourite, never tried smores!
Oh my goodness my mouth is watering!!! Those look SO GOOD!
SMores pancakes! Genius idea. They would be perfect to make ahead and bring to a camp out 🙂
This just reminded me that I didn’t eat a smore all summer long! I feel like these pancakes would make up for it!
You had me at s’mores. Yum!
Oh my gosh this post makes me want a second breakfast! Delish!
Those look awesome! We used to go “Kelly Clan Cabin Camping” cute right? My family and three other families (aunts, uncles, cousins…) would rent out a cul-de-sac of cabins and camp for a week. It was so much fun! We would kayak, hike, cook, play with chalk…. ahhh to be 12 again.
wow, these sound absolutely amazing and the perfect treat breakfast!
This is genius. I’m making these ASAP. Umm…does staying in a nice, warm cabin in the mountains count as camping? 🙂
Those look beyond words! Genius lady, genius!
Yes, I love camping. Smore’s are always the best part! I think I last went around August this year
I love camping! We always do it up with lots of food, booze, big fires and nature hikes. 🙂 On our last camping trip most of the group had a biiiittt too much to drink and I ended up being the only one to get up before noon! I somehow managed to start a fire, brew some coffee and make breakfast for everyone all by myself. I was pretty proud of myself!
As someone pancake obsessed who adores s’mores (best dessert ever), this seems like a perf combo. Can’t believe I never thought of it!
