Look, who doesn't love pancakes? They're great as breakfast. Or lunch. Maybe dinner too, but that could be stretching it thin. But pancakes. They're great! So now, how about Oreo pancakes. What do you think?

Looks super delicious doesn't it?

Of course it does! Here's the recipe

Serves 4

For the pancake batter:

Buttermilk (600g)
Medium eggs (x8)
Unsalted butter (125g)
Vanilla extract (1 and a half tsp.)
Plain flour (600g)
Corn flour (100g)
Baking powder (30g)
Granulated sugar (125g)
Oreo cookies (150g)
Unsalted butter for frying (100g)

For serving:

Marshmallow fluff (25g)
Maple Syrup/Chocolate sauce (100ml)

Method:

  • Melt the butter and combine with buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the plain flour, corn flour, baking powder and granulated sugar. Blitz the Oreo cookies in a food processor till fine crumbs and add to the dry mix.
  • Whisk the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract together with dry ingredients. Continue mixing for 2-3 minutes.
  • Grease a large hot frying pan with butter and add dollops of pancake mix, keeping them separate. Allow to cook for 3 minutes on each side. They should puff up in the pan.
  • Stack cooked pancakes on a plate, add a dollop of marshmallow fluff, break a few Oreos on top (if you have any left over) and drizzle with maple syrup or chocolate sauce depending on your taste. 
  • For those who really want to get in the spirit cut yourself out an Oreo stencil and dust with icing sugar for a perfect finish.
