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.
Cookie Dough Pancakes
(Serves 1-2)
- 1/3 cup spelt or white flour (40g)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (40g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract and optional 3 drops almond extract
- pinch stevia OR 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder (and optional pinch baking soda for flavor)
- 1/2 tsp ener-g egg (or just add extra baking powder)
- up to 1/2 cup water or milk of choice
- chocolate chips!
Mix all the dry ingredients. (This can be done days in advance.) Put liquid ingredients into dry, then stir. Cook on medium-low, flipping 1/2-way through.

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!
