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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Add Oreos: Carefully fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the batter to evenly distribute.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it 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 an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Prepare Drizzle: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the mixture reaches a drizzle-able consistency. Add more milk if needed. Taste and add extra powdered sugar to adjust sweetness if desired.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a serving plate, then generously drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top. Optionally garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup for extra indulgence. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives and use vegan cream cheese.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use a medium heat setting to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
- Adjust cream cheese drizzle consistency by adding more milk if it's too thick for drizzling.
- Garnish with extra Oreos or chocolate syrup for added texture and flavor.
