About these Oreo pancakes:

Crushed Oreos are the star of the show, and you’ll love how the chocolate cookies hold their texture while the vanilla frosting melts right into the pancakes. Topped with a little whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped Oreos, this dish tastes as amazing as it looks. 

These Oreo pancakes will remind you of the “Oreo Oh My Goodness” pancakes at Ihop, and you’ll see that they’re so simple to recreate right in your home kitchen.

If you’re wondering how to make specialty restaurant pancakes at home, it’s pretty simple: don’t overmix your batter, gently fold in your mix-ins right before cooking, and turn down your heat if your pancakes are not cooking through evenly. That’s it!

One bite and you’ll agree that we should definitely be eating more cookies for breakfast.

How to make these cookies and cream pancakes your own:

  • You can use your favorite sandwich cookies–try vanilla flavored Oreos or use holiday seasonal cookies for festive flavors and colors!
  • The white-and-black color scheme of these pancakes makes them perfect for events. They look classy on their own, and you can dress them up with different sauces and toppings. Strawberry syrup goes on beautifully for color, or use whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and a handful of chopped cookies for a monochromatic look. 
  • You can try this recipe with other kinds of cookies as well, like Nutter Butters for peanut butter cookie pancakes.
  • Did you know Oreos are vegan? You can make these Oreo pancakes vegan by swapping the eggs for flax eggs.

Storage Suggestions

These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh. Once stored in the refrigerator, the cookies will begin to soften.

However, you can store them for up to 3 days in the fridge.
