Snickers Pancakes Recipe
If you’re looking to take your pancake game to an epic level, welcome to the wonderfully indulgent world of Snickers-studded pancakes! 🍫🥞 Nothing beats waking up to fluffy stacks of breakfast joy packed with chocolate chips and gooey bites of Snickers, drizzled temptingly with caramel sauce. Let’s dive into this sweet adventure!
I adore beginning each day with a delectable spin on the usual pancakes, and Snickers Pancakes are an especially delightful version. They have a fluffy base made from my usual pancake batter: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder, with copious amounts of chopped Snickers bars and mini chocolate chips thrown in for good measure.
As far as I’m concerned, you can (and should) eat these as breakfast, but they’re also a suitable dessert option, especially if you top them with caramel sauce and whipped cream.

How to Make this Snickers Pancakes Recipe
1. In a big mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt by whisking them together.
2. Take another bowl and mix well in it the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them throughout the batter.
5. A skillet or griddle that doesn’t stick has been heated to medium and greased lightly with either butter or a cooking spray.

7. Scatter a handful of chopped Snickers over each pancake just before the batter sets.
8. Continue cooking until bubbles appear on the surface; then turn and cook the remaining side until it is brown and the pancake is cooked through.

FAQ
- Can I use a different type of flour?Indeed, you can use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free blend, but the outcome may differ somewhat in texture.
- How can I make these pancakes fluffier?Make sure your baking powder is fresh, and maintain the lightness of the batter by not overmixing.
- What can I use instead of Snickers bars?Any caramel and chocolate candy bar can be used as a substitute. For instance, one can use a Milky Way or a Mars bar.
- Is there a dairy-free option?Indeed, utilize almond milk and a substitute for butter that does not contain dairy to prepare the recipe free of dairy.
- How should I store leftover pancakes?Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for no longer than 3 days; stash them in the freezer for as long as 1 month.
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?Of course! You can make the batter and refrigerate it up to 24 hours before cooking.
- What is the best way to reheat pancakes?They can be reheated in a skillet over low heat or in a microwave for 20-30 seconds per pancake.
Snickers Pancakes Recipe Substitutions and Variations
1. Measure 1 cup of flour.
2. Replace it with 1 cup of whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative,
3. Or use 1 cup gluten-free flour for an option without gluten.
1 cup milk. Use almond milk or oat milk if you prefer a dairy-free alternative.
Two tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted: This can be swapped with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for a dairy-free substitute.
1/2 cup chocolate chips, miniature: Substitute dark chocolate chips for a heartier flavor—and, of course, richer and healthier, what with the antioxidants and all.
3 Snickers bars, chopped. For a different twist, substitute with 3 chopped peanut butter cups.
Pro Tips
1. Preheat the Pan Properly: Ensure your skillet or griddle is well-heated before adding the batter. A drop of water should sizzle upon contact, indicating it’s hot enough. A consistent medium heat helps achieve evenly cooked pancakes.
2. Avoid Overmixing: When combining wet and dry ingredients, stir just until the batter comes together. A few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense pancakes.
3. Keep Pancakes Warm: To keep pancakes warm while cooking the remaining batter, place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven. This keeps them nice and warm without drying out.
4. Snickers Placement: To ensure even distribution of Snickers, press pieces gently into the batter after pouring it on the skillet. This prevents them from being unevenly distributed or sinking too much into the pancake.
5. Customize Toppings: While the recipe calls for caramel sauce and peanuts, you can experiment with other toppings like chocolate sauce, berries, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet and salty contrast.
