Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cups dark cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.25 cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more for the pan
  • 10 Oreos crushed
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • Crushed Oreos for serving
  • Chocolate sauce for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Frying pan or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric Mixer (optional)

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dark cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, room temperature egg, and melted unsalted butter until everything is smoothly combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps remaining.
  4. Add the crushed Oreos to the batter and fold them in gently using a spatula. This will give your pancakes that delightful Oreo crunch.
  5. Place your frying pan or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface.
  6. Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  7. In a separate bowl, pour the cold heavy whipping cream and, using an electric mixer or whisk, whip until soft peaks form. You can add a touch of sugar for sweetness if desired.
  8. Stack your fluffy Chocolate Oreo Pancakes on a plate, generously top them with the whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and sprinkle crushed Oreos on top for the ultimate finishing touch.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, swirl in some nut butter to the batter.
  • Feel free to add fruits like bananas or berries for a fruity twist.
  • For a mint-chocolate experience, add mint extract to the batter.
