Use a wire whisk to mix these ingredients until fully combined.
Prepare your large skillet, or griddle by heating to medium heat. Grease it with spray oil or a bit of butter.
Using a ¼ measuring cup, ladle batter and place onto your skillet or griddle. Repeat for however many pancakes will fit without touching each other in your pan.
Cook until the surface of the pancakes start to bubble, about 1-2 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from pan and keep warm on a separate baking sheet while you repeat the cooking process with the rest of the batter.
Once you’ve finished cooking the batter, you can prepare the marshmallow fluff for topping your stack of pancakes.
Place the marshmallow fluff into a medium or large microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 15-20 seconds and stir. You may need to microwave it a bit more to get it to a drizzle-able consistency. To be safe, microwave in a larger bowl and keep your eye on it in the microwave as the fluff will expand greatly when heating up.
Spoon the marshmallow fluff over your pancakes and serve! You can add a few extra Fruity Pebbles cereal on top of the marshmallow fluff for a BIG fruity taste and texture. Store any leftover pancakes in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week!
How Can I Get Perfectly Round Pancakes Every Time?
We recommend using a griddle to get the best-shaped pancakes. The Dash mini griddle gives us perfectly round pancakes each time!
What Alternative Ingredients Can I Use?
If you’re not a big fan of marshmallow fluff, you can use Mrs. Butterworth’s maple syrup or other flavored syrup. Fruit jams are also a tasty topping alternative, as is vanilla frosting. You can also replace Fruity Pebbles with Cocoa Pebbles, Fruit Loops, or another favorite cereal brand!
Can I Eat This If I’m On A Gluten-Free Diet?
Most of the ingredients in our recipe are naturally gluten-free, like butter, marshmallow fluff, and even the Fruity Pebbles! The main ingredient you need to be careful with is the all-purpose flour. Since many all-purpose flours have wheat in them, you’ll need to find a gluten-free alternative like 1:1 gluten-free flour, or you could experiment with using oat flour or almond flour.
