Ingredients

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

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)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Make pancake batter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy—avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
  4. Add crushed Oreos. Carefully fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the batter to distribute evenly without breaking them down too much.
  5. Preheat skillet. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook pancakes. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Keep warm. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while preparing the drizzle.
  8. Prepare cream cheese drizzle. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the mixture reaches a drizzle-able consistency. Add more milk if needed to thin it out.
  9. Adjust sweetness. Taste the drizzle and add additional powdered sugar if a sweeter glaze is preferred.
  10. Serve pancakes. Stack the pancakes on a serving plate and generously drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top.
  11. Optional garnish. Garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup if desired for extra indulgence.
  12. Enjoy. Serve immediately while the pancakes are still warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the pancake batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy; some lumps are okay.
  • If you prefer thicker pancakes, use slightly less milk for the batter.
  • Feel free to substitute Oreo cookies with other sandwich cookies for variety.
  • The cream cheese drizzle can be thinned with more milk for a lighter drizzle or thickened with extra powdered sugar for a thicker topping.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) if making a large batch.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and cooking.
