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.

I think I will be making some ice cream pancakes myself. I’m thinking about your snickerdoodle or banana pancakes w/ butter pecan ice cream 😛 I’m nuts over nuts!
Hi Katie!! I love this whole blog so much, but especially your single-serving desserts. All to often I would skip out on baking because I didn’t want to have to deal with 36 of the same dessert myself (a single lady) but now I make a single serving something almost very night! I was wondering though, do you have all your single serving desserts in one list? I knew abou the cupcakes, but I didn’t see these until today. Thanks!
I do! 🙂 🙂

YES! Thank you!
ok, so just recently i had asked u if u had a wafer recipe to make ice cream sandwiches with… well i used this to inspire me! instead of making the batter in a skillet like a pancake i baked it in the oven…then when it cooled i stuck them in the freezer for a while… later put the ice cream in and then put them back in the freezer until frozen…. lets just say AAHHHHMAZING!!!! lol
Can it be make with whole wheat flour?
Whole wheat flour is not the best thing for baking.
what type of oil do you use for the pancakes? coconut?
You can use canola, veg oil, or melted coconut oil. If coconut oil, make sure any other liquid ingredients aren’t cold.
You posted this over two years ago! I can’t believe I’ve missed out on these this whole time.
So i made this, and the pancakes by themselves were a bit blah, but as soon as we put ice cream on it it was so good. Like really really good. We used chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but you can really use anything.
These are INSANELY delicious!!! I didn’t have any cocoa powder so I subbed it with Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup and tasted UH-MAZING! It so gooey and perfect! I bet it would taste great with the cocoa powder but I’m sticking with the syrup. It was just too gooey and fabulous to forget. Love your work Katie. Made tons of your recipes but this one just killed me. Keep it up!
I had these today for the zillionth time and thought it was time I tell you how much I love them! This is seriously the most genius idea ever thought of, ever. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but this blog is my happy place! I like to put SO Delicious coconut milk chocolate ice cream on these pancakes. I’m so happy there’s someone who understands and nurtures my need for dessert breakfast! Family and friends think I’m a weirdo 😀
I don’t know why these didn’t work for me 🙁 I measured everything but I think the mixture was too dense? And I could do only 4 little, thick pancakes. It was delicious anyway, like all of your recipes haha.
