Chock full of hearty oats and melty chocolate chips, you’ll feel like you are eating cookie dough for breakfast!
Hmm. The same can be said for my Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal.
I guess I just really like chocolate for breakfast.
No, I didn’t really top my pancakes—the ones I actually ate—with chocolate syrup. But I’d cooked a batch the day before and put them in a plastic bag to stay fresh. Well, silly me didn’t know that if you cover a batch of pancakes, they get gooey-moist and go bad. No worries; I now had a whole batch of pancakes to use for a crazy photo shoot. So the pancakes didn’t go to waste. (I hate wasting food.) And the next day, I quickly made up a new batch to eat for real.

Anyone tried this with gf flour? Would love to make this for my wheat/gluten intolerant kiddo…
just tried this (finally!) with gluten free all purpose flour (some store brand stuff) It worked well, i just needed to add more flour than the recipe calls for, until it was pancake batter consistency! My first pancake turned out as mush, and i kept adding flour accordingly until i found a good ratio! But they were delicious! 🙂
Made these for my sister this morning and she said it tasted like she was eating cookies…. and that’s coming from a serious chocolate and cookie lover 🙂 <3
What is this DECADENT RICH CHOCOLATE WATERFALL that is flowing unto these beautiful pancakes? It looks incredible but can’t seem to find a simple “chocolate syrup” recipe on your site.. Is there a brand you reccomend?
You are such an inspiration.
With love,
Rachael

How much brown sugar to this recipes if desired?
Try a tablespoon.
Just made them…YUM!
YUM! I made one and then I randomly added some cinnamon apple sauce to the dough and the rest turned out even better!!
Just made these pancakes for the second time in two days… and they are yummy! Just a quick question, are they meant to be doughy (p.s. I don’t mind doughy pancakes!) x
Thanks! That has to be one of the best breakfast treats I have had all year.
AHHH!!!!! so, so good Katie!! I added whipped cream on top…. yummy!! i also added 1/2 a cup more almond milk.
Hi Katie!
I discovered your blog a month or so ago and have been trying your recipes since 🙂 Some have worked, some haven’t (my mistakes) but all of them have been lots of fun! You are so talented and so generous to share these with us. I love your recipes and I want to make all of them! Doesn’t it suck that some foods are so expensive and hard to find?
Anyway, I love my pancakes so the cookie dough pancakes recipe is one of my fave recipes of yours! But I am curious… what does baking powder do? And what happens if I omit it?
