How to Make Cap’n Crunch All Berries Pancakes

Making Cap’n Crunch All Berries Pancakes is quick, colorful, and so much fun! With just a few ingredients and some crushed cereal, you can whip up a sweet breakfast that’s full of flavor and crunch. Here’s how to bring this playful recipe to life.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix

  • 1 ⅓ cups cold water (or follow the box instructions)

  • ½ cup crushed Cap’n Crunch’s All Berries cereal (plus extra for topping)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • Butter or nonstick spray (for cooking)

  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, maple syrup, more cereal

Instructions:

  1. Crush the cereal:
    Place Cap’n Crunch’s All Berries in a zip-top bag and lightly crush using your hands or a rolling pin. You want small, colorful chunks—not powder. Set aside.

  2. Make the batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Krusteaz mix and cold water. Stir until just blended—don’t overmix.

  3. Add the cereal and extras:
    Gently fold in ½ cup of crushed All Berries and the vanilla extract (if using). Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes.

  4. Cook the pancakes:
    Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet to medium-high. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.

  5. Serve and decorate:
    Stack the pancakes and top with whipped cream, syrup, and a sprinkle of extra cereal for crunch and color.

Tip: Serve with a glass of milk or a small bowl of extra cereal on the side for a themed breakfast party!
