Prepare the pancake batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the pancakes tough.
Add the Oreo cookies: Gently fold in the crushed Oreos into the pancake batter. The cookies will give the pancakes a fun, crunchy texture and a rich flavor.
Cook the pancakes: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot surface, spreading it out slightly into a circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the cream cheese drizzle: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency—thicker for a more spreadable drizzle, or thinner for a more pourable one.
Serve: Stack the pancakes high on a plate, drizzle with the cream cheese sauce, and garnish with extra crushed Oreos if desired.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: These Oreo pancakes are best served fresh and warm, immediately after cooking. Serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.
Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through. You can also freeze pancakes for up to a month—just place parchment paper between each pancake and store them in a freezer-safe bag.
Variations:
Add chocolate chips: For an extra chocolatey twist, mix chocolate chips into the pancake batter along with the crushed Oreos.
Use a different cookie: If you prefer a different cookie, feel free to swap out Oreos with any other favorite chocolate cookie, such as Chips Ahoy, for a unique flavor.
Swap cream cheese drizzle: If you’re looking for a lighter drizzle, try using whipped cream or a simple chocolate ganache as a topping.
Banana Oreo pancakes: Add sliced bananas to the batter for a delightful contrast to the crunchy Oreos.
