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.

what a cute idea!! you have to come out with a CCK book full of your recipes!! 🙂
Oh my word. My two year old is going to LOVE this recipe! I’m pretty sure I can send you her thanks in advance. 🙂
I’m not a big fan of pancakes — this might just change my mind. I love ice cream for breakfast! I like putting it on top of a breakfast cookie — it’s like double dessert!
These look like delicious whoopie pies!
yes, of course this is a good idea! I love eating out of the ordinary for breakfast. It is like a vacation if you think about it. 😉 I can’t help but laugh at all the times I eat pizza for breakfast!
Ice cream for breakfast = AMAZING idea those look great, I think I’m going to make them the next time I’m in charge of watching my younger brother over night.
OH YEAH BABY!!!!! Ice Cream for Breakfast is my kind of day!!! Katie, I love your blog so much! It is by far the best one EVER!!! 😀
Oh Kat, seriously, you are the sweetest ever!!!
When my best friend and I used to have sleep overs as kids, her dad would make us homemade waffles in the morning for breakfast and we would get to eat them with ice cream. No wonder I loved sleeping over there all the time!
Haha I wonder if she was related to one of my friends, whose dad introduced me to the wonders of chocolate-chip pancakes!
These look great lady! And for once I can actually see the pictures. It’s been hit or miss the whole time whether or not your pictures will load for me but this time no issues 😀 Have a great day chica!
Oooh really? Yikes… that’s frustrating to hear! Hopefully now that I’ve changed servers, it’ll be ok for you. If it is a problem again in the future, please please do let me know!!
Ice cream for breakfast is a total go for me–I’ve been known to make banana fro-yo for breakfast!
