Tessa’s Recipe Rundown
Taste: I mean, pumpkin and the classic flavors of s’mores just belong together. Match made in autumn heaven.
Texture: The pancakes are light and fluffy, but slightly crunchy at the edges and loaded with bits of gooey Hershey’s chocolate. That plus the ultra thick and sticky marshmallow syrup and crunchy graham cracker crumbs just takes it all to a whole new level.
Ease: Easy peasy, just be sure to keep an eye on the pancakes cooking and be sure to cook in a good amount of butter for the best texture possible.
Appearance: A stack of these pancakes would be the absolute perfect way to awake any morning.
Pros: Fun seasonal twist on this breakfast favorite.
Cons: Certainly not an everyday breakfast meal.
Would I make this again? Oh yeah.

Recently I’ve had an increasing appreciation for breakfast. I loved special weekend breakfasts as a kid but I feel like my love for breakfast tapered off a little. Lately I’ve found a new love for not only how fun breakfast is to make, but how freakin’ delicious it is! These days I’d rather have brunch than lunch. Are you the same??
Either way, these Pumpkin S’mores Pancakes are the ultimate autumn wake me up. So festive, so scrumptious, and an excuse to almost eat dessert for breakfast. Gotta love that! They’re brimming with seasonal pumpkin flavors and the best bites are the ones with gooey Hershey’s bar inside and a crisp buttery edge outside. Plus you just cannot beat that thick, luscious, and sticky marshmallow syrup poured on top alongside a sprinkling of crunchy graham crackers. Oh YES.

Pumpkin S’mores Pancakes
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (356 grams) whole milk
- 1 1/4 cups (305 grams) pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces, plus more for garnish
- Butter, for frying
For the toppings:
- 1 (7 ounce) container marshmallow fluff
- Graham crackers crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a small bowl vigorously beat the milk, pumpkin, egg, and oil until very well combined. For best results, use an electric mixer or blender to combine the wet ingredients to ensure the pumpkin is broken down. Add into the flour mixture and stir just until combined and the batter is still lumpy, do not overmix.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat with butter. Once very hot, drop 1/4 cup portions of batter. Cook until the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form, about 1 minute. Gently flip and continue cooking on the other side until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Place the pancakes on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Combine the fluff with 2 tablespoons very hot water and stir until thin enough to pour. Drizzle over pancakes. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and extra Hershey’s pieces and serve.
The recipe calls for 2 cups flour but also lists (9 ounes). I believe this to be a typo, correct?
Hi Crystal! Thank you so much for pointing this out to us! This older recipe was created back before Tessa used metric measurements in her recipes (and before she hired me as her recipe editor haha, sorry about the typo!). I’ve updated the recipe to include the correct weights. Excited for you to try these! 🙂
These would make an awesome breakfast after an indoor “camp out”. What an awesomely delicious idea!
MARSHMALLOW syrup????! Mind blown. Wow.
Oh my! This is just so wonderfully over the top!
Your food photography is amazing!
Definitely agree with Julie; a ultimate pancake guide would be fantastic! Even a ultimate waffle guide!
So excited to try this recipe!
I think a Ultimate pancake guide would be awesome! I know there is so many different ways plus the new “healthy ” method with just using eggs and bananas. I really enjoy your work!
All I can say is WOW! I’d like to think I couldn’t eat a stack of pancakes that huge, but in reality I could and would… yum!
