Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the drizzle)
- Extra crushed Oreos for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the pancake batter. This will infuse the batter with the signature Oreo flavor and add little pockets of crunch in each bite.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape.
- Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
- Once all the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate, keeping them warm as you prepare the cream cheese drizzle.
- For the cream cheese drizzle, beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream (or milk), and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the mixture becomes a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the stack of pancakes, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Top the pancakes with additional crushed Oreo cookies for an extra crunch and a delightful finish.
- Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy every rich, creamy bite of these Oreo pancakes!
