Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
1 cup milk or water, per pancake mix directions
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
green food color liquid or gel
1¼ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows or
Generic dehydrated marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat griddle to 350ºF.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla bean paste until well blended.
Add the pancake mix and stir until just moistened. Some lumps will remain. This is normal.
Fold in ¾ cups of Lucky Charms marshmallows. Please be aware that the marshmallows will melt on the griddle.
Lightly grease the griddle with nonstick cooking spray or some butter.
Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, add the green batter to the griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form on the top of the pancake. When the edges begin to pull up from the griddle, flip and continue to cook until cooked through.
Serve hot with syrup, remaining marshmallows, and whipped cream.

Notes

I picked through a box of Lucky Charms to make this recipe, and I felt super guilty throwing away all that cereal just to use the marshmallows. If you'd rather, you can get (slightly less fun) dehydrated marshmallows on Amazon for pretty cheap and not have to throw out most of a box of cereal.
