S'mores Pancakes

If you read my last post or follow me on twitter, you might be wondering what I have in store for you this week. For the rest of the work-week I'll be featuring different S'mores recipes everyday! Yes, that's right, a WEEK OF S'MORES. My job is hard.

I'm kicking S'mores Week off the way I like to kick my days off - with a ridiculously delicious breakfast treat. These whole-wheat chocolate pancakes are topped with marshmallow sauce and sprinkled with crushed graham cracker. It doesn't get much better than that.

Recipe Rundown
Taste: Richly chocolate, sweet, and exactly like s'mores. 
Texture: Wow. One bite into these pancakes and I was sold. They are rich yet light and fluffy - almost like a chocolate souffle. 
Ease: Very very easy. Who needs Bisquick?
Appearance: Messy yet scrumptious.

Pros: Easy, whole-wheat, utterly delicious. Perfect for children and adults.
Cons: Pretty indulgent for breakfast! But that's what special occasions are for. Or breakfast for dessert days.
Would I make this again? Definitely.
