Get the Recipe: Twix Pancakes
Who can resist a stack of fluffy Twix pancakes?! They’re loaded with chocolate, caramel, and shortbread, just like the classic candy bar.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup shortbread cookie crumbs (4-5 cookies crushed)
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped milk chocolate (about 2 full size Hershey bars)
Garnish:
- 1 full size Hershey bar, chopped and melted (see notes for melting)
- ¼ cup shortbread cookie crumbs
- roughly chopped fun-sized Twix candy bars
Instructions
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the shortbread crumbs.
- Add the milk, melted butter, egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla and mix just until combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Spray preheated griddle or pan with cooking spray.
- Using a ¼ measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto preheated griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until edges are slightly set and bubbles are forming on top of the surface of the pancake batter.
- Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Notes
- Makes about 12 pancakes.
- May substitute ½ cup of milk chocolate chips for chopped Hershey bar.
- When chopping Hershey bar, it’s ok to have some larger pieces. If the chocolate is chopped too finely, it may result in chocolate batter instead of pieces of chocolate.
- The batter will be very thick after resting. This is necessary because it needs to be thick enough to support the chopped milk chocolate pieces.
- The griddle must be sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or coated with melted butter to prevent the chopped chocolate from sticking to the surface.
- Cook these pancakes on LOW heat. They brown pretty quickly, so it’s good to check the bottoms using a spatula to lift the edges to take a peek at them before flipping.
- Additional melted milk chocolate makes a delicious addition to the pancakes. For the photos, an additional Hershey’s chocolate bar was melted by microwaving it in a small bowl at 70% power for 1 minute. Stirring and then microwaving for additional 30-second intervals. If the chocolate hardens, it can be microwaved for 10-15 seconds.
