• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl

Instructions

Follow these steps to create fluffy, Oreo-packed pancakes with a dreamy cream cheese drizzle.

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Pancake Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk 1 ½ cups milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ¼ cup melted butter until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay—avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
4. Fold in 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

1. Preheat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C). Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
2. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Spread slightly if needed for even rounds.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more until golden brown.
4. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm (cover with foil or place in a 200°F oven). Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle

1. In a small bowl, use a whisk or electric mixer to beat 4 oz softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, mixing until creamy and lump-free.
3. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and ¼ cup milk, adding more milk 1 tbsp at a time until the drizzle reaches a pourable consistency (like a thick glaze).
4. Transfer to a piping bag or keep in the bowl for spooning.

Step 4: Serve

1. Stack 2-3 pancakes per plate. Drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze.
2. Sprinkle with extra crushed Oreo cookies and top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or fresh berries if desired.
3. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Weekend Brunch: Pair with bacon, sausage, or fresh fruit for a complete spread.
• Kids’ Breakfast: Serve with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a fun treat.
• Dessert Twist: Enjoy as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Brunch Party: Set up a pancake bar with various toppings like sprinkles or caramel sauce.
