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.

what’s next!? crepes!? such morning madness
how acceptable would it be to make these for lunch? because i’m seriously dying at how incredibly delicious they look! this may be a dumb question, but what is an ‘ener-g egg’?
Not a dumb question at all!! Ener-g is a vegan egg substitute that you can buy at the grocery store in the baking aisle (well, at natural grocery stores anyway). It’s a powder made from tapioca starch and potato flour. You can probably leave it out in these pancakes and just add a little more baking powder.
thanks lovely lady! good to know 🙂
Huh, I guess my comment this morning never registered. Anyway, we made these for supper tonight and they were awesome! So flavourful and delicious. We also had some Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked Oatmeal Cake this week and it was super yummy too. Our taste buds are doing happy dances thanks to you. 🙂
Hmmm… apparently my blog was crashing this morning. Boo. Maybe that had something to do with your comment being eaten by greedy spam!
Sounds like you got your chocolate fix in this week ;).
can we sayy. YUMM!!? I love moist and cookie-dough tasting things. thank you for sharing!! 🙂
Another amazing recipe to add to my queue! This sounds amazing!
I totally agree with what you said: when is chocolate not part of my breakfast? Sometimes I’m in the middle of making a meal and I realize that there is no chocolate involved, so I change what I’m making or add it. It’s not complete without it!
You’ve done it again! Cookie dough for breakfast in pancake form? Sign. me. up!
I’ll have something like this post run; it’s my first this week. i have these bananas going bad, so it’ll be sorta like banana choc chip cookies
Oooh that sounds even better!
Omg. Chocolate + cookie dough + pancakes. How can I resist? They look perfect.
How do you think this would taste with oat flour instead of whole wheat flour?
I *just* discovered oat flour a few days ago, and I am in LOVE with it! So I bet it’d be pretty good in this :).
They look great, Katie. Love the drizzle “in action” shot. Anyone who’s ever tried to hold a dslr with one hand and drizzle with the other and snap a pic knows that’s wayyyyy harder than it appears!
And I saw your post at Mizfit. Way to go 🙂
LOL yes! And there’s no way you can eat them afterwards, because by the time it all comes out, it’s SATURATED! (Plus, it gets all soggy!)
Haha I had a busy day, with guest posts on pbfingers and mizfit… I was a little afraid my blog would crash! Luckily, it didn’t :).
P.S. I am so grateful for your honest advice the other day, re: foodgawker. As soon as I actually started trying to improve my photos instead of whining and thinking I’d done something to make them mad, they started accepting me again! It really takes a true friend to be honest! Love u!
So glad they are taking them again…and yes, trust me, nothing personal with you. They get 1000s of submissions and I dont think they know who’s who, or care. They just want the images. If it doesnt make their cut, they reject. Cold and callous, but hey, at least it’s a line in the sand and it’s not personal 🙂
And your blog WAS crashing for me this morning which is why i couldnt get in to comment til now 🙂
I don’t eat chocolate a lot for breakfast but I’ve recently fallen in love with carob and have played around with it a bit. Like a couple of weeks ago when I posted my peanut butter carob chip pancakes! They were DELICIOUS!
