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.

No joke, I eat your oatmeal cookie pancakes AT LEAST once a week! I’ve put raisins in, but never chocolate. Yummmmmmy!
I cannot judge. I had ice cream for breakfast yesterday. I want these pancakes now!
Ice cream for breakfast? Ooo such a smart cookie. Literally (judging by your blog name and avatar photo hehe)!
chocolate is often involved with bfast when the craving strikes. But my goodness, your photos look crazy amazing – you are so skilled in so many ways girl!
Awwwwwwwwwww thank you times a million!
Best. Photo shoot. Ever. You totally should have just made that a breakfast pancake sundae and devoured the whole thing. LOL!
I just saw your post on PBF… looks like great minds think alike, and love chocolate
Woah, another “chocolate covered” blogger? Too fun! 🙂 Love it!
I like this idea! I’ve never wanted to make chocolate chip pancakes, but chocolate chip cookie pancakes? Sign me up! Thanks!
I eat chocolate for breakfast all the time. Breakfast should always be like a dessert. It starts the day off right! What did you use for the chocolate topping? Is it just chocolate syrup?
Yup! But, as I wrote, I didn’t really eat the ones with chocolate syrup. That might’ve been chocolate overload for the morning. But hmmm… then again, maybe not!
Chocolate is a necessary component of each meal I eat. This includes snacks and always includes breakfast. I’m not ashamed 🙂
My grandmother used to let me put chocolate sauce on my waffles:)
This reminds me of her! Thanks for the great recipe!
I love eating chocolate for breakfast. It tastes more special that way ;-). Thank for the recipe! Also, great post on PB Fingers!
Thank you!! 🙂
Yummy!!! I believe that chocolate should be included in all meals!!! 😀
Me too! Me too!
These look amazing, Katie! I eat chocolate for breakfast *almost* everyday…is this bad, I wonder? I add pure Dutch cocoa powder to my oats and generally melt in a little dark chocolate for good measure. Oh, and I add a spoon of peanut butter. It seems I have a chocolate/PB problem! 😉
Ha! Bad? No way! 😉
Yum! These look great 🙂
Also, I always let my extra pancakes/waffles cool completely on a cooling rack before packing them away in the fridge. That way there’s not heat to create excess moisture!
I eat chocolate for breakfast all the time! Take for example today’s peanut butter and banana chocolate oatmeal 🙂 YUM!
Oh my GOODNESS! That stream of chocolate pouring down on the gorgeous pile of choc chip pancakes… I just died a little. 🙂 And yes, I eat chocolate at breakfast if I’m in the mood for it. It’s never the wrong time for chocolate!!
Love chocolate for bfast 🙂 I just had a cookie crumbled over my smoothie this morning!!!
