Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup plus 4 tablespoons buttermilk or coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Oreo cookies and cream, chopped
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup chopped Oreo cookies and cream
Garnish
- Chocolate sauce
- Additional chopped Oreo cookies and cream
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients and Batter: Add the eggs, buttermilk or coconut milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped Oreos into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until the batter just comes together, keeping some lumps for a lighter texture.
- Preheat Griddle or Skillet: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of extra butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle, forming a circular shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is browned and crisp, then flip and cook the other side until browned and crisp as well.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: Remove cooked pancakes and place them in a warm oven set to about 225°F (107°C) to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Make Oreo Whipped Cream: In a mixer bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed. When soft peaks start to form, add the confectioner's sugar and cornstarch, then continue mixing until stiff peaks develop. Fold in the chopped Oreos gently and stop mixing to keep the texture.
- Assemble Pancakes: On a serving plate, place one pancake and spread a generous layer of Oreo whipped cream on top. Repeat stacking pancakes and whipped cream layers as desired. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top of the stack, finish with a dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with additional chopped Oreos.
Notes
- Using buttermilk gives the pancakes a richer flavor and tender crumb, but coconut milk is a good dairy-free alternative.
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps will make the pancakes fluffier.
- Keeping cooked pancakes warm in the oven prevents them from becoming soggy or cold before serving.
- The cornstarch added to whipped cream helps stabilize it, ensuring it holds up longer.
- For a stronger Oreo flavor, lightly crush some Oreos and sprinkle inside the batter just before cooking.
