Ingredients
Ingredients in Giant Oreo Pancakes
These pancakes are packed with chocolatey goodness and a creamy vanilla filling. Here’s what you’ll need:
For the Pancakes
All-Purpose Flour: The base for soft, fluffy pancakes.
Cocoa Powder: Gives that rich chocolatey Oreo flavor.
Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the cocoa.
Baking Powder: Helps the pancakes rise and stay fluffy.
Milk: Keeps the batter smooth and light.
Eggs: Adds structure and fluffiness.
Butter: Melted for that rich, buttery taste.
Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor.
For the Cream Filling
Butter: The base of a creamy, smooth filling.
Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and thickens the filling.
Vanilla Extract: Gives that classic Oreo-inspired flavor.
Milk: Just a splash to make the filling perfectly spreadable.
Instructions
Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the pan, forming a large pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until fully done. Repeat for the remaining batter.
Make the Cream Filling
In a bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fluffy. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar if too thin or more milk if too thick.
Assemble the Giant Oreo Pancakes
Take one pancake and spread a generous layer of cream filling over it. Place another pancake on top, creating a sandwich. Repeat to create multiple stacks.
Serve and Enjoy
Top your Giant Oreo Pancakes with crushed Oreos, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
