Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1¼ cups whole milk (or buttermilk for a tangier flavor)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Lucky Charms cereal
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add the whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Add the cereal: Gently fold in the Lucky Charms cereal, making sure it’s evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as syrup, whipped cream, or additional cereal.
Notes
- Flavored pancakes: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a spiced flavor.
- Dairy-free option: Substitute whole milk with almond milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
- Add-ins: Feel free to incorporate chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even extra marshmallows for added texture and flavor.
