These healthy and vegan Oreo pancakes are the perfect breakfast for any Oreo lover.
Oreo Cookie Pancakes???
With a simple cookies ‘n cream filling sandwiched between each fluffy chocolate layer, it’s enough to make Michelle Obama call a state of emergency for the breakfast table.
But the First Lady needn’t worry, as these decadent Oreo pancakes pose no threat whatsoever to her Let’s Move campaign for healthier kids. They are secretly filled with fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, probiotics, and the most important healthy ingredient of all: chocolate.

This weekend I had fun playing host to a friend from middle school and her daughter, Kristin (whom I’ve mentioned before on the blog).
I told Kristin I would make her anything she wanted for breakfast, and she got a mischievous look in her eye and said, “Oreo cookies!”
So I asked her, “What about Oreo pancakes?” and she decided that was an even better idea than cookies.
Leftover chocolate? Make Black Bean Brownies
If it were up to me, I would’ve made a frosting with coconut butter.
I am so predictable.
But Kristin doesn’t like coconut butter. In her words, it is “yucky.” So we went vanilla yogurt instead.
Lately I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with vinegar—it adds a lightness to baked goods, which can be enormously beneficial when using whole-grain flours.
The pancakes turned out light and fluffy without the need for any eggs.
If desired, feel free to substitute the yogurt filling for Coconut Whipped Cream.
Oreo Cookie Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 Oreos or Healthy Oreos
- 1 tsp white or cider vinegar
- 5 tbsp milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp oil (sub applesauce only if you like the taste of fat-free pancakes)
- 1/4 cup spelt, white, or gf ap flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 1/3 cup yogurt (I like nondairy)
Instructions
- Whisk first 4 ingredients. Set aside. Combine next 5 ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Place a non-stick pan, greased with either oil or oil spray, over medium heat. While it heats, pour wet into dry and stir until just mixed. Then cook your pancakes (I did mine in two batches), adjusting the heat a little lower if necessary. Flip when bubbles appear and the sides are just cooked enough to flip without breaking. Meanwhile, combine the final two ingredients, then spread on the pancakes. View Nutrition Facts

Oh wow, pancakes and Oreos? I’ll take these anytime!
My husband is going to LOVE these!! Thank you for doing what you do 🙂
These look yummy! Dessert for breakfast is never a crime 🙂
OMG. I cannot handle this. I need to make them immediately 🙂
Hi! These look amazing! I looked at your nutrition info and was wondering what milk you used for the calculations and if you’ve factored in an Oreo and also which sugar you used for your calculations. Sorry for so many questions! I’m doing Weight Watchers and have to be exact 🙂 Thanks!!!
Hi Elle,
See the note right under the nutrition label for more information.
Also, I used unsweetened almond breeze for the calculations.
I don’t think I’ve known anyone here to celebrate Fat Tuesday, but I think I’d be willing to with these pancakes;)
My boyfriend, the pancake monster, will absolutely adore these! What a fantastic idea! The yogurt between all the layers makes this look like a real treat! I bet they’d be great with some coconut butter, too
Oh my goodness! I could see my hubby and I standing at the kitchen counter, each with fork in hand, sharing these as a dessert! 🙂

Okay. Now I’ve died and gone to food heaven. These look insanely yummy. And I’m making breakfast with my boyfriend tomorrow, so I might have to try ’em (especially since I have all the ingredients for the pancakes already!)
This looks soooo good! I showed my mom, and she said “ugh, you are going to make me fat.” I broke the news to her that these were healthy… We might have pancakes tomorrow. 🙂
I’m pretty sure these are the answers to all of my life’s problems right now. Your back hurts? Have some pancakes. You never get scheduled to work? Here, I made pancakes for you. It’s raining and dreary? No worries. Pancakes in bed will help.
Yes, yes, and yes.
I always celebrate pancake day (I didn’t know you did pancakes for shrove tuesday in the US, too!). I’ll make the normal pancakes for tea but I might make these for a dessert… I mean… you can have pancakes twice on pancake day if not any other, surely!
Did these pass the kid test?!?! I’m so curious! 🙂
I may do a two-ingredient pancake (http://glutenfreemuse.com/2012/09/28/two-ingredient-pancakes/) tomorrow to celebrate!
Yes… I think so, anyway. She ate them pretty quickly! 🙂
Oooh, these look decadent! I’m pinning for a future breakfast idea! I will definitely be celebrating Fat Tuesday tomorrow with king cake and lots of Abita. But Tuesdays/Thursdays are my running days, which is when I have protein smoothies for breakfast. Maybe I can have pancakes for dessert. 🙂
Oh wow these look delicious! I have to say I love the look of your cheesecake pancakes as well though! I am really looking forward to pancake day, me and my friend are having a pancaked fest with strawberries and cream!
Yeah, I guess I’ll have to try these tomorrow morning. But what is the point of Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras), I know a lot of people in New Orleans wear beads and flash their tits, well, I think some of them flash their tits. It’s a really big party, right? In the streets. It’s hard for me to imagine that right now. Where I live, our streets are really filled with snow. It snowed on Friday and some of the roads are still closed today! A lot of the plowing equipment is breaking down because of the heavy snow loads. Well, I just found out that one of my cousins traveled down to New Orleans, I’ll have to ask him about what he saw, I’m kind of jealous of the less sucky weather there.
