Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients and Oreos:
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 Oreos, crushed
Glaze and Optional Toppings:
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (plus more as needed)
- 4 Oreos, finely crushed
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Craft a rich chocolate pancake base by combining dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel. Whisk cocoa-infused flour with granulated sweetener, leavening agent, and mineral seasoning until thoroughly integrated.
- Create a silky liquid mixture separately by blending dairy, egg, liquefied butter, and aromatic vanilla until harmoniously combined. Gently incorporate wet components into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the batter.
- Delicately fold crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the velvety mixture, allowing fragments to distribute evenly. Allow batter to rest and settle for several minutes, enabling ingredients to meld and texture to develop.
- Warm a non-stick cooking surface over moderate heat, lightly lubricated with butter or culinary spray. Ladle precise portions of batter onto the heated surface, watching for telltale bubbles emerging across the pancake’s landscape.
- When edges appear firm and surface becomes slightly porous, skillfully flip each pancake. Cook opposite side until golden and thoroughly set, ensuring complete internal cooking.
- Prepare a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sweetener with milk and pulverized cookie remnants. Adjust liquid ratio to achieve desired drizzling consistency.
- Artfully stack warm pancakes, generously cascading Oreo-infused glaze across layers. Embellish with billowy whipped cream, additional cookie fragments, and decadent chocolate syrup if desired. Serve immediately for optimal gustatory pleasure.
Notes
- Customize the batter by using gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version, ensuring everyone can enjoy these decadent pancakes.
- Crush Oreos just before adding to the batter to maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming too soggy during mixing.
- Control the heat carefully when cooking pancakes to achieve a perfect golden-brown exterior without burning, which can create a bitter taste.
- Make the glaze ahead of time and store in the refrigerator, gently warming it before serving to maintain a smooth, pourable consistency.
