Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pancakes


pancakes cookies

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.

(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.

    Those look DIVINE!! I love chocolate, but I generally try not to eat it at breakfast because it’s not “healthy” – but these look healthy and tasty. I’ll have to make them when I’m home from college! 🙂

    I have chocolate all throughout the day, usually in the form of unsweetened cocoa powder and semi-sweet choc chips, starting from breakfast and carrying on through dinner and any post-dinner snackerie. I think these pancakes look heaven-sent and I will be making them soon!

    Is there anything wrong at all with chocolate for breakfast? I eat it in my oatmeal, in my banana sandwiches, in chocolate chip cookies and sometimes I even have real chocolate cake for breakfast. If it makes my day, it cannot be bad 🙂 .
