Yesterday I had ice cream sandwiches for breakfast.
Take that, cold cereal.
And of course, in following the “healthy dessert” theme of this blog, the above ice cream pancakes are much healthier than they look. So please feel free to eat them for breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. Or, um, all three.
Ice Cream Sandwich Pancakes
Adapted from: Brownie Batter Pancakes
- 1/4 cup spelt or all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa or dutch cocoa -(You can try substituting regular cocoa, but I have not tried)
- pinch uncut stevia OR 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil (or applesauce, only if you like the taste/texture of fat-free pancakes)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 5 and 1/2 tbsp milk of choice
Mix dry ingredients very well, then add wet. Make pancakes! Then spread your favorite ice cream, mashed banana, or my egg-free healthy ice cream recipe in between the pancakes. For a truly-authentic look, you can even poke holes in the ice cream sandwich pancakes.

you’re a genius. that’s all i can really say!
Ohhh that is sooo creative!!! I usually stick to something that I can eat quick when in the car on the way to work 🙁
I wish I had more time for a delicious creation like yours!!!
These actually looked like whoopie pies to me when I first saw it! They look awesome!!!! 😀 Its perfectly fine to have ice-cream for breakfast. And in fact, I may have or have not ate a couple scoops for breakfast yesterday…
I usually eat wholewheat bread/buns for breakfast! Or have brunch instead of breakfast then lunch in the afternoon and dinner the usual time. Because brunch is a good excuse for not having classic breakfasts and to have thick, gigantic stacks of fluffy pancakes oozing with chocolate, coupled by a small carton of frozen yogurt and random sweet desserty stuff 😀
Hooray whoopie pies! That was my exact thought. And I would totally eat one for breakfast…on occasion. 🙂
Those look GOOD! The only time I wouldn’t want ice cream for breakfast is on a chilly day… Like today. I’d takes the Texas heat over 50 degree August mornings any time! I’d rather have hot oatmeal and hot coffee! 🙂
OMG that looks awesome I will have to try!!!!!!!
I usually have cereal or toast for breakfast-it gets kind of boring..for the past 2 days though, i’ve made your brownie batter pancakes (delicious) so now i just have to add ice cream.As far as meals go, I’ve only had ice cream for lunch before.
Yuum!!! Ice cream sandwiches sound like an awesome breakfast! 😀
WHY ARE YOU SO SMART!??! this is SO COOL!
Ice Cream is like pizza. It’s good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and every time in between.
My only criteria for breakfast is that it’s quick and easy.
FABULOUS creation!!! I say, if you feel like ice cream for breakfast, go ahead 🙂
Ice cream for breakfast is a fabulous idea! I used to do raw frozen banana ‘sundaes’ with goji berries and seeds, maybe some raw chocolate sauce. But this really appeals to my pancake-loving nature. Thanks for the idea and recipe!
I think my all-time favourite breakfast is some sort of whole grain (well, quinoa and buckwheat aren’t technically grains, but I’m including those in that description) with yogurt, fruit, and almonds. And cinnamon. Lots and lots of cinnamon.
Since discovering your blog and OhSheGlows.com over a year ago, though, I’ve been varying my breakfasts tremendously – and it’s so much better that way. Variety is the spice of life! Well, actually, cinnamon is the spice of my life, but otherwise… my breakfast variety, using both Angela’s and your recipes, is the spice of it. 😉
Ice cream for breakfast? If it’s your healthy voluminous ice cream, or real non-dairy ice cream as an occasional treat, then why not?!
Katie,
This looks so yummy!!! 😀
I was wondering if maybe you could make a penuche recipe. I love penuche and it is super delicious but not super healthy so I was hoping you could help. Thanks!
Margaret
LOL whats penuche? I’ve never heard of it!
It’s like a caramel/dulce de leche flavored fudge…You’d probably be able to find it online 😀
SO AWESOME! I am making these for dinner:)
this might be my favorite one so far
Best. Idea. Ever.
