Notes

  • Chop the Cranberries: Fresh cranberries can be quite tart, so chopping them into small pieces helps distribute the flavor throughout the pancakes without overwhelming each bite.
  • Don’t Over-Mix: When adding the cranberries and marshmallows, gently fold them in to keep the batter fluffy.
  • Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, add a drizzle of honey or chocolate syrup on top.
  • Top With Powdered Sugar: For an extra-special holiday look.
