Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder
- 8 Oreos, crushed
- 3 tbsps granulated sugar
- 4 Oreos, finely crushed
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps milk (plus more as needed)
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Dry Mixture Preparation: Combine cocoa-enhanced flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking until uniformly blended.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: In a separate container, thoroughly mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring minimally to prevent batter from becoming tough.
- Cookie Incorporation and Resting: Gently fold crushed Oreo cookies into the batter, allowing cookie fragments to distribute evenly. Let the mixture rest for several minutes to develop flavor and texture.
- Pancake Cooking Process: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium temperature, lightly greasing with butter. Pour measured batter portions, watching for bubbles forming across the surface.
- Flipping and Finishing: Once edges appear set and surface becomes slightly porous, carefully flip each pancake. Cook opposite side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Oreo Glaze Creation: Whisk powdered sugar with milk and finely ground cookie crumbs, adjusting liquid to achieve desired drizzling consistency.
- Plating and Garnishing: Stack warm pancakes, drizzling Oreo-infused glaze between layers. Top with whipped cream, additional cookie fragments, and chocolate syrup if desired. Serve immediately for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently to maintain fluffy texture, stopping when ingredients just combine to avoid tough, dense pancakes.
- Cookie Crushing Technique: Crush Oreos into varied sizes – some fine crumbs, some larger chunks – for interesting texture and visual appeal in pancakes.
- Temperature Control: Use medium-low heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning, allowing chocolate base to develop rich color and proper internal cooking.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute regular flour with almond or gluten-free blend, maintaining same measurement proportions for those with dietary restrictions.
