For the Pancakes:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 ¼ cups milk
1 large egg
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 Oreo cookies, crushed into small pieces

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Gently fold in crushed Oreos.
Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until done (about 1–2 minutes per side).
Prepare the Cookies & Cream Glaze
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until creamy and pourable.
- Stir in finely crushed Oreos.
Assemble & Serve
- Stack pancakes high, drizzle generously with cookies & cream glaze, and top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and Oreo crumbles.

Tips for the Best Oreo Pancakes

Don’t overmix the batter — a few lumps are fine!
Use double-stuffed Oreos for an extra creamy, indulgent flavor.
Make ahead: Pancakes can be cooked and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Glaze too thick? Add a splash more milk until pourable.
