S’mores don’t have to wait for dessert.
What ISN’T good in pancake form?
I still had graham crackers and marshmallows leftover from my S’mores Brownies… I had to use them some how! Why not create a pancake breakfast? Don’t S’mores Protein Pancakes sound divine?!
Maybe it’s a little strange to have a campfire dessert first thing in the morning, but it sure is good!
These are actually not bad for you. In fact, I added a chocolate-y protein punch to increase the stay-power and make them healthier. What’s more is that as long as you use gluten-free oats, they’re gluten-free!
Healthy. Gluten-free. Protein packed. Vegas was none the wiser as she downed her dessert-breakfast. She’s actually quit asking me what the “surprise” is in whatever I make her. #winning
You can add syrup or not. I thought the melty marshmallows were great on their own… but it’s also good with a schemer of peanut butter.
What’s not better with peanut butter?
S’Mores Pancakes
- 1/4 C raw oatmeal
- 1 T coconut flour
- 1 T cocoa powder
- 2/3 scoop (22g) Rice Protein Chocolate Power
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp no-salt baking powder
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or water)
- 6-8 drops vanilla liquid stevia
- Toppings: crumbles graham crackers, marshmallows, syrup
In a small blender (I used a Magic Bullet), blend together dry ingredients until oats are ground.
Add wet ingredients and blend again to combine. You may need to add more liquid if you let it sit – coconut flour is extremely absorbent.
Heat pan over med-high, spoon batter onto pan, and cook until done (~3-4 mins each side).
Top with crumbled graham crackers and marshmallows. I torched my marshmallows for second to get them nicely melted.
Makes 8 small-ish pancakes (2 servings).

Tell me I’m not the only on who craves chocolate first thing…
What’s your favorite s’more creation?
Do you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast?
Juli@1000lovelythings says
Oh yes, chocolate for breakfast is a regular thing for me. Though sometimes I need a savory breakfast, too! Like a sandwich.
I love pancakes and those pancakes look and sound amazing. Pinning for later 🙂
Laura says
Thanks! I think chocolate has a place at any meal .)
Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says
I just had chocolate for breakfast, so I’m totally on board with this idea! My breakfast had about 2 grams of protein in though…
Heather@hungryforbalance says
S’mores are good any time of the day. They might just be nature’s perfect food…no, wait, isn’t that a commercial for something? Whatever. What I mean to say is that I now need to go to the store for graham crackers and marshmallow so I can make these for breakfast!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
Can you come make me pancakes since I can’t cook for a few months? These sound so good like candy!
Laura says
Of course!
Jennifer F says
Uh, you are not the only chocolate craver in morning. I have always eaten a small handful of chocolate chips by 6am — either in yogurt, on protein pancakes or just alone! Okya, LOL while typing this a diet dr pepper ad popped up . .. and hte first thing said by some girl “I want something sweet” – hahahah that’s my answer
Laura says
HA! I always wonder how “smart” those ads are…
lindsay says
i have all those ingredients! including the growing naturals! YEA! this weekend —> MAKING IT!
Laura says
I think you should make them as balls. I want S’more Balls!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
S’mores are my favorite. And they are suitable at any time. Probably more so in this form.
Sarah says
You had me at s’more and pancakes, seriously two of my loves!! Please come make these for me tomorrow morning really early before A’s soccer tournament….. 8am 1st game and all I was hoping for is pancakes for breakfast this weekend or next (S’s soccer tournament).
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
What I’s do for S’mores!
Liz says
Oooh yum!! S’mores anything are my favorite 🙂 These look fabulous!
Alyssa @ Renaissancerunnergirl says
Oh, these are perfection for me – gluten free, nut free, and S’MORES FLAVORED? Best breakfast to try out while I’m full of free time and runger 🙂
Laura says

Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says

Laura says
Thanks Becki! I’d love to hear how you like them!
Shannon says
YUM!! Pancakes are never a bad idea.
Debra says
Just a smear of peanut butter? You now have me dreaming of peanut buttery smores (for reals).
Laura says
Well, a generous smear. 🙂
GiGi Eats says
Walden Farm’s Marshmallow Fluff… Yup.
Mary Legare Whaley says
Those pancakes look amaaaaazing! I def prefer a sweet breakfast. Honestly, I like to start and end the day on sweet. I crave savory midday. I’ve been doing breakfast type foods for dinner recently. I think it helps kick a dessert craving to eat pancakes with syrup for dinner. 🙂
Laura says
I could eat breakfast at any meal. It’s like a constant dessert!
AwesomelyOZ says
Anything with marshmallows is welcome in this home. I try not to use/eat them because you know.. sugar.. but eh once in a while they’re delish. Have a great weekend Laura! -Iva
Laura says
Did you know you can get sugar free marshmallows? I’m sure thy aren’t exactly “clean” … but you can make them with stevia too!
Khushboo says
Gah Vegas is one lucky gal- what I would do for someone to make me a stack of these :)! As much as I love almost anything s’more flavoured, my favourite would be the original, camping-style s’more!
Laura says
Hahaha – I’m reading her this comment. 🙂
Dani @ DaniCaliforniaCooks says
My boyfriend would go crazy for these! I’ll have to try sometime!
Jessica @ Balance and Thyme says
Wow. Two of my favorite things in one meal. I definitely prefer sweet to savory when it comes to breakfast, which is why I’m drooling as I write. I can’t wait to try this!
alex d says
These look so good! Making them today!
Laura says
Thank you! I’d love to hear what you think!
