Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve some for topping)
- Butter or oil, for greasing the griddle
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate syrup, extra crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Crush Oreos: Place Oreos in a resealable bag and crush into small pieces using a rolling pin. Reserve some for topping.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in Oreos: Gently fold crushed Oreos into the batter.
- Rest batter: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Test temperature: Sprinkle a few drops of water on the griddle. It’s ready if the water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- Pour batter: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook first side: Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set.
- Flip: Carefully flip the pancakes.
- Cook second side: Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and keep warm in a preheated oven (200°F or 93°C) until ready to serve.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 9-13 with remaining batter.
- Stack and top: Stack pancakes on a plate and top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, extra crushed Oreos, or other desired toppings.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter for the best texture.
- A hot griddle is key for golden brown pancakes.
- Don’t flip too early.
- Keep pancakes warm in the oven until serving.
- Get creative with toppings!
- For extra Oreo flavor, add a tablespoon of Oreo cream filling to the batter.
- Make them chocolatey by adding 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
- Adjust sweetness to your preference.
- For gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg, use plant-based milk and vegan butter, and ensure your Oreos are vegan-friendly.
