Ingredients
Scale
-
For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
-
For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more for desired consistency)
-
For Garnishing:
- Crushed Oreo cookies
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Pancakes:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Set the pancakes aside and keep warm.
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a drizzle-able consistency. If needed, add a little more milk to thin it out.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
-
Assemble the Pancakes:
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the cream cheese mixture generously over the top of the pancakes.
- Garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup if desired.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while the pancakes are warm. Enjoy these indulgent Oreo Pancakes with Cream Cheese Drizzle as a decadent breakfast or dessert!
