S’mores Pancakes

Things that make me feel old:

1. I didn’t know what twerking was until Miley Cyrus did it.
2. Speaking of Miley, even before the whole VMA-twerking-fiasco, I thought We Can’t Stop was the worst song I had ever heard.
3. I don’t know what Candy Crush is and don’t understand why facebook keeps asking me to play.
4. I had general admission standing room tickets to a concert, and although I had a great view of the stage, I would have killed for an actual seat.  [Don’t hate me for wanting to sit on the slow songs.]
5. My perfect Friday night now involves sushi, a couple craft beers… and my couch.
6. Sunday Funday means there is an SVU marathon on TV.
7. Every time I see a 21 year old girl running around my neighborhood in a belly shirt I want to kindly remind her to always leave them wanting more. [life motto]

Some clues that I’m not as old as I thought I was:

1. I went to a party labor day weekend and (somewhat) willingly drank Natty Light from a keg.
2. In the middle of the aforementioned VMA disaster, I did in fact, YouTube “how to twerk” just because I was curious.  There was a great video tutorial, but as it turns out, my body don’t move like that.  [probably not a bad thing]
3. I unashamedly wore gold glitter eyeliner to work on multiple occasions this summer.
4. My hot pink flats have made more than one appearance in the office in recent months.
5. I survived (barely) a bachelorette party in Atlantic City.
6. I think Catsfish is the greatest show on TV right now.
7. Sometimes I eat s’more for breakfast.  In pancake form of course.

The Goods:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 Tbs sugar
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbs oil
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup mini marshmallow
• 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Optional:

• chocolate syrup
• whipped cream

The Deets:

Recipe makes 8 small pancakes, or 4 large restaurant style ones.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and baking powder.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and milk.  Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ones and mix with a wooden spoon just until all of the dry ingredients have been incorporated.  Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray.  Ladle a quarter cup of batter for a small cake or a 1/2 cup  of batter for a large cake  onto the hot surface.  Cook pancake for about  2 minutes on each side, flipping when it is golden brown.

Top pancakes with butter, syrup, or my personal favorite: chocolate syrup or whipped cream.
