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.

That’s such a creative idea, Katie with chocolate coloured hair!
Everyone likes cookies, even those who might not like pancakes (me) !!
Haha, it reminds me of the Cookie Crisp commercial. “Cookies for breakfast?! It’s COOOOOKIE crisp!!!” Looks like a lovely recipe.
I remember those commercials! After seeing them, I begged my mom to buy us cookie crisp cereal… and then I was SO disappointed when it didn’t taste like cookies!
That chocolate syrup on top looks heavenly!!
I love making chocolate protein waffles topped with coconut butter and fresh strawberries!
Oy Katie! I made boatmeal today and ate it with homemade chocolate-hazelnut butter (I’ll post the recipe soon), raw cacao nibs and maple syrup. HEAVEN. What did I do before I read your blog?? Oh, and I eat something chocolate-related every morning. You’re not alone 🙂
Homemade nutella? My ears just perked up! Eat an extra scoopful for me, ok? I just discovered Justins chocolate hazelnut spread, and I realized what was missing in my life all those nutella-less years lol.
Yummmmmm!!! I rarely eat chocolate for breakfast, but after seeing your pancakes, it makes me want to indulge in some chocolate chip pancakes too!! 🙂
By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I passed on an award to you. 🙂

I looove adding dark cocoa powder to my overnight chia seeds and oats and layering it with almond butter (or other nut butter), bananas and raisins!! I look forward to waking up because I know I get to enjoy my breakfast!! 😉
These look delicious and I can’t wait to try them! This may be a dumb question, but how much brown sugar do you suggest?

Hey Caroline!
It really depends on a lot of factors such as whether you like sweet pancakes, whether you’re putting any toppings on, or how much of a sweet tooth you have. For a sweeter result, maybe try a tablespoon? And do let me know whatcha think if you try them! 🙂
These look amazing!
I just made these pancakes this morning, and they’re totally awesome! It really does taste like cookie dough!!! I even had my fiance stealing some from me. Thanks so much for sharing your awesome recipes!
Aw Allison, I am SO excited you made them!
