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

Ha! I made cookies n cream pancakes too on my blog! Big fluffy ones. They are very healthy, OIL free, refined sugar free. I also made my own Oreo crumbs and “cream”. Yours look really good Katie and beautiful photos!
I cannot wait to try these. They look so delicious! The biggest problem: having the remaining pack of Oreos in the house.
Hi – unfortunately I’m allergic to yogurt – all kinds. What would you substitute for the coconut yogurt?
Thanks
Joan
I made these this morning, and the flavors were great… but how did you get the batter to make such round, circular pancakes? Our batter seemed a little tough, and I couldn’t get enough out in time to make them thin like in the picture. I’d love to learn your tricks so I can make these again!
Hi, Katie! I’ve been meaning to comment on this for almost a week. I looove your blog. A looot. I linked these pancakes to my Pancake Links post last Sunday, they looked fantastic, I hope that’s okay! xo

I’ve tried quite a few of your recipes and this my be my favorite one yet
I don’t know why I had trouble flipping these the first time I made them. I’ve never had a problem since! eating more of these now… stevia-sweetened kefit is a good topping for non-vegans. and walnuts… mmmmmm
I made these this morning and they were absolutely fantastic!! Thank you so much for creating delicious breakfast recipes for one! My husband is in the coast guard and when he is out to sea these are the perfect breakfast – when he is home I just double the recipe!
Thank you so much for trying them!
I tried adapting this recipe into my oatmeal this morning to get an oreo flavored oatmeal! it is good but I think you could do better. I know u have multiple chocolate oatmeals posted but I love these pancakes more than those so an oreo oatmeal would probably be even more awesome!
plus I think you’d be the first person on the internet to do it haha I tried searching
Haha I love your idea… cookies and cream oatmeal!
i dont think so it will be nice cake
It is not even breakfast time and I am so going to eat them for lunch. Katie, you are amazing. Can you come over to my house and make me everything you know?
