Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
Special Ingredients
- 6 Oreo Cookies (crushed into small chunks)
Cream Cheese Drizzle
- 4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1–2 tablespoons Milk (optional, to thin drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes fluffy.
- Add Oreo Crumbs: Gently fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the batter, distributing the cookie pieces evenly without crushing them completely.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Add a splash of milk if needed to thin the drizzle to your desired consistency.
- Assemble and Serve: Stack the warm pancakes on a plate, then generously drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Notes
- Use fresh baking powder for the fluffiest pancakes.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Crush Oreos into small chunks instead of powder to preserve texture.
- Cook on medium heat for even cooking without burning.
- You can make the cream cheese drizzle ahead and refrigerate it for convenience.
