Oreo pancakes are one of those fun breakfast recipes that instantly make weekends or kids’ sleepovers feel more special without much extra work. I’ve made these both from scratch and with boxed pancake mix, depending on how busy the morning is, and both versions turn out soft, fluffy, and packed with cookies and cream flavor. We love serving them with whipped cream and old fashioned blueberry pancake syrup for a pop of fresh berry flavor that balances the indulgence.
These easy Oreo pancakes use simple ingredients but still feel like a treat everyone gets excited about. I usually top pair them with easy brunch favorites like these fried eggs in the air fryer, which makes feeding a crowd post-sleepover super simple.

Why The Recipe Works💭
Texture: The Oreo pancakes have a fluffy and soft base but are swirled with bites of creamy crunch from the cookies themselves.
Versatile: These pancakes can be dressed up in multiple ways to suit whichever occasion you’re using them for.
Easy ingredients: You most likely have all the ingredients you need already on hand. And if you’re in a pinch, you could easily use a boxed pancake mix instead of making them from scratch.
Items and Substitutions
- All-purpose flour: Know that a gluten-free flour will work here as well, but that you’ll need a bit of extra liquid to counter it.
- Melted butter: Melt your butter before you need it and make sure that it doesn’t burn, or the pancakes will taste “off”.
- Oreo cookies: You’ll want to roughly chop them so that they mix evenly but still give a bit of crunch. Also, use different flavored Oreos for fun swaps!

Before starting the recipe, you’ll want to have all your kitchen essentials ready. I recommend having the following items:
Flavors To Try
There are so many ways to transform this Oreo pancake recipe into something slightly new! Below are a few of our favorites.
- Oreo flavor: Try specialty cookie flavors like mint Oreos or peanut butter Oreos for an easy swap.
- Toppings: Drizzle the pancakes with chocolate, caramel sauce, or top them with fresh fruit.
- Dessert-like: Add a scoop of ice cream for a dessert-style pancake stack.
- Dairy-free: Use dairy-free or vegan butter and a nut-based milk to make these Oreo pancakes dairy-friendly and vegan-approved (Oreos are actually vegan already!).
How To Make The Easy Oreo Pancake Recipe
Step 1: Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
Step 2: Add the wet ingreients to another bowl and whisk until well combined.
Step 3: Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth, and then fold through the roughly chopped Oreo cookies.
Step 4: Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease it before portioning the Oreo pancake batter.
Step 5: Flip the pancakes once bubbles appear and cook for approximately an extra 2 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden on both sides and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve the pancakes while warm.
Note
Avoid overmixing the batter. A few lumps are okay and help keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Helpful Hints
Pro tip: Let Batter Rest!
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to help it thicken and produce fluffier pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking. You’ll want to grease it between batches as well.
- Flip only once, when bubbles form, and the edges look set.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven while finishing the rest of the batch.
- Gently fold in the Oreo pieces to avoid breaking them up too much.
- Thin out thick batter with a splash of milk if needed for easier scooping.
How To Store Them
In the fridge: To store Oreo pancakes, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or wrap them in foil and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
In the freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze them by layering parchment paper between each pancake and placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Warm them in the microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds per pancake, or reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. If frozen, allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating them.
How To Serve Them
Oreo Pancakes are already a treat on their own, but you can take them to the next level with fun and delicious toppings. Below are a few ways we enjoy them:
A classic drizzle of maple syrup adds sweetness, but chocolate or caramel sauce really enhances the cookies-and-cream flavor. Whipped cream on top adds a light, fluffy contrast to the rich pancake base, and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos gives it a fun, dessert-like finish.
- Drizzling maple syrup, melted chocolate, or coconut milk caramel sauce.
- Serving them alongside crispy bacon, vegetarian sweet potato hash, and fresh fruit.
- Pair them with air fryer banana tortilla roll-ups as a fun, super indulgent brunch.

Easy Oreo Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Add the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
- Add the milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold through the roughly chopped Oreo cookies.
- Heat a skillet over a medium heat. The skillet can be greased with butter or non-stick cooking spray at this stage if preferred.
- Scoop the batter into the skillet in 1/4 cup amounts. Cook for around 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface of the uncooked side of the pancakes. Flip the pancakes and cook for approximately an extra 2 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden on both sides and cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes while warm.
Notes
- If the pancake batter is too thick, it can be thinned by adding a small amount of additional milk.
- Don’t over-mix the batter. Overmixing the batter can crush the Oreos too much and make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger number of people.
- Reduce the stovetop heat if the pancakes are browning on the outside too quickly before the pancakes have cooked through.
- These pancakes can also be cooked using an electric pancake maker.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the pancakes cook through without burning.
- Make sure to save some of the crushed Oreos to top the pancakes with.
