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

- 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

- 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)

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.

Great recipe! I changed it a bit to make banana oatmeal cookie pancakes 🙂

THese pancakes were AWESOME! Instead of brown sugar or stevia as a sweetener, I used two drops agave, and a heaping teaspoon of soy protein powder(that stuff is so sickly sweet!). The pancakes were sooooo good, and just like the last time I made one of your pancake recipes, I couldn’t even finish the mini-batch! These are so very filling and delicous, I was quite pleasantly surprised (= Could you try to make a peanut butter cookie pancake?
Ummm now I am wondering why I haven’t done that already! I need to get on this! Will definitely be trying a pb version! 🙂
I made these this morning for breakfast. They were so delicious! My dad had some as well and he is sooo picky. He said, these are a keeper. Don’t forget them. I said I won’t! =)
Smiling so big right now!!! 🙂
Ughhhhhhh Katieeeeeeee!
I’ve been having chocolate-stuff for breakfast SO much more lately because of this blog!
And you know what?
I’ve been tons happier since : )
The day starting off with chocolate usually means it’s going to be a fantastic day.
You are wonderful! Please never stop these posts! <3
Awww such a sweet comment :).
I know I’ve already commented that I love these, but while I had this page up on my browser again, I thought I’d let you know that these have become my new favorite go-to when I’m craving a cookie. It’s so nice to be able to make just one or two cookies instead of a whole batch! Great for satisfying cravings without giving you too much temptation 🙂
Awww 🙂 🙂
omg! ah-mazing!! i so heart chocolate!
I just made these for my little sister and they turned out lovely, pictures on my blog 🙂 stacked them alternatively with milk chocolate pancakes and I think I earnt my place in the awesome big sister books. Just shown my little sis your site and she’s obssessed already!
These were insanely good!
Ohh my, these are just TOO GOOD!!!!
I’ve just made these, using WW flour, 1tsp ground flax and 1tsp Agave instead of the sugar.
These pancakes are JUST LIKE pillow-soft chocolate chip cookies!! Too good!! ((I did use about 50g chocolate chips..!!))
I have just found Sunvita dark chocolate chips and they are so delicious!! Have you thought about somehow making chocolate pancakes with a peanut butter ((or banana butter would be awesome!!)) swirl?? I think I will have to try this soon ((just as soon as I buy some more peanut butter, that is!!))
Keep up the awesome work, Katie!!

Your recipes are amazing!!!! I was wondering if you could sub out almond or coconut flour for the whole wheat and if so would I need more eggs? Does this work for your other desserts too? I cant WAIT to try this. Chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast here I come! Thank you so much for your amazing recipes, I can not wait t try some/ all!! Ithink I pinned every single one of them in pinterest!
I would caution against using ALL coconut or almond flour. I’ve always heard that they are too crumbly alone and need to be subbed with 1/2 of another flour like ww pastry (or rice flour and some xantham gum). Also, coconut flour sops up liquid like crazy! So you might need more liquid too.
YUM! We are out of chocolate chips, so we made these without them…for lunch. I knew I needed to add something kind of protein and something else to replace the chips. I made a pb syrup out of a little cream cheese, brown sugar, pb, & milk. It was so good! I also decided to stack two pancakes and “stuff” them with a little pb & let the kids dip in syrup. Much to my surprise, they didn’t care for the syrup, but had seconds on the pb stuffed pancakes. These will definitely be in our lunch rotation!
Yum! This has always been my favorite “weekend” recipe 🙂 Today I made this recipe but I didn’t have any chocolate chips so I added a melted banana instead. Oh. My. Gosh…it was AMAZING! I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg and have now figured out my favorite new recipe! Just thought I’d share 🙂
Just made these this morning and they are amazing! They are so fluffy and delicious you would never guess they are healthy.
If I don’t like the texture and taste of oats do I need to double the flour or just add a little bit more?
I make these several times a week and they are delicious. I sometimes sub about 1/4 of the flour for almond flour. Anymore than that, and they get too crumbly, but the almond flour adds a nice flavor to them and makes them a tad bit healthier.
These make excellent waffles! 🙂
