02 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold until just incorporated, ensuring not to overmix for optimal texture.
03 - Preheat a cake pop maker or mini pancake pan as per manufacturer’s instructions, or heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low and lightly grease.
04 - Using a tablespoon, portion the batter into each cake pop mold or shape into rounds on the skillet.
05 - Place a pinch of chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs on each portion of batter. Top each with a small spoonful of additional batter to fully enclose the filling.
06 - Close cake pop maker and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown, or cook on skillet flipping each pop after bubbles form, approximately 2 minutes per side. Repeat until all batter and filling are used.
07 - Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Brush each warm pancake pop with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture for an even coating.
