This Just-Add-Water S’more Pancake and Waffle Mix is perfect for busy back-to-school mornings and backcountry breakfasts. Toasted marshmallows on top transforms this quick and easy breakfast into an extra special morning treat.
I’ve been playing around with Just-Add-Water Mixes lately. Partly because I have big ambitions for camping trips this summer and am always on the look out for the perfect back country meals that are 1) easy, 2) shelf stable and 3) require very little dishes and clean-up. Partly because I need a morning meal for my 7 year old that I can make with one hand, while holding the baby on my hip with the other, in less than 10 minutes start to finish. Or better yet, a morning meal that my 7 year old can whip up on her own!! Partly because breakfast is and has always been my least favorite meal to cook and I require super easy options in the morning for my own sanity. Before kids, this was the meal that I would outsource to restaurants. Now I look for make-ahead breakfast options because there is no worse way to start the day than with a sink full of dirty dishes!
These S’more Pancakes are made from a graham cracker batter and studded with marshmallow and chocolate chips. If you want to keep it simple, a generous spread of salted butter is all that these pancakes or waffles require. However, if you want to take this breakfast to the next level, try out these fun toppings:
S’more Pancake Toppings:
- Graham Cracker Crumbs
- Toasted Marshmallow (campfire, stove top or torch)
- Brown Butter
- Caramel Sauce / Sweetened Condenced Milk
- Whipped Cream
- Nutella
How to Make Fluffy Pancakes
For fluffy thick pancakes, make a thick batter. Preheat your griddle and then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low once you add the batter to it. Thick fluffy pancakes take a while to cook, about 4-5 minutes per side. This recipe calls for 1 cup dry mix to 3/4 cups water. This will make fluffy pancakes. You may be tempted to stretch the mix by adding more water to it, and this is fine, but you will get less fluffy pancakes that cook quicker.
For waffles, make a thinner mix of 1 cup mix to 1 cup water.

Description
A simple and delicious Just-Add-Water Pancake and Waffle Mix for busy mornings.
Ingredients
3 cups flour
1 cup Graham Cracker Meal *
1 cup Dry Milk Powder
2 Tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
1 cup Mini Marshmallows, chopped
Instructions
A day or two before making this mix, open your bag of marshmallows and leave them out to dry. This will make it easier to chop them into small pieces.
Make the graham cracker meal by grinding the graham crackers with a mortar and pestle or in a food processor. You could also put the graham crackers in a bag with the air removed and roll a rolling pin over them.
In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and stir well. Transfer the mix to a bag or an 8 cup mason jar and store at room temperature until ready to use.
To Prepare the Pancakes:
Preheat your griddle, or pan.
For each cup of dry Pancake & Waffle Mix, add 3/4 cup of water and mix well.
Butter (or spray with oil) your griddle. Ladle out the batter. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden brown on one side and bubbles are visible on the top. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Top with your favorite toppings and serve.
For Waffles:
Preheat your waffle iron
Use a 1:1 mix:water ratio
Spray waffle iron with oil and cook to desired brownness
Top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
1 cup of dry-mix makes about 3 medium-sized pancakes.
For 4 people use 3 cups of dry mix and approximately 2 1/4 cups water.
For 2 people use 1 1/2 cups dry mix and approximately 1 cup plus a couple of tablespoons water.
