Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pancakes

Chock full of hearty oats and melty chocolate chips, you’ll feel like you are eating cookie dough for breakfast!

Hmm. The same can be said for my Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal.

I guess I just really like chocolate for breakfast.

cp

No, I didn’t really top my pancakes—the ones I actually ate—with chocolate syrup. But I’d cooked a batch the day before and put them in a plastic bag to stay fresh. Well, silly me didn’t know that if you cover a batch of pancakes, they get gooey-moist and go bad. No worries; I now had a whole batch of pancakes to use for a crazy photo shoot. So the pancakes didn’t go to waste. (I hate wasting food.) And the next day, I quickly made up a new batch to eat for real.

Cookie Dough Pancakes

(Serves 1-2)

  • 1/3 cup spelt or white flour (40g)
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats (40g)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract and optional 3 drops almond extract
  • pinch stevia OR 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder (and optional pinch baking soda for flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp ener-g egg (or just add extra baking powder)
  • up to 1/2 cup water or milk of choice
  • chocolate chips!

Mix all the dry ingredients. (This can be done days in advance.) Put liquid ingredients into dry, then stir. Cook on medium-low, flipping 1/2-way through.

    I used to eat chocolate for breakfast several times a week when my usual breakie was oatmeal or pancakes, but lately I’ve been sticking to peanut butter toast and fruit. Simple, fast, makes me feel good. Sometimes I follow it up with a square of Endangered Species though.

    Yum!

    I never have chocolate at breakfast, and tend to crave it after lunch or dinner. If my breakfasts are too sweet, I get super thirsty, so I save chocolate for later in the day when I’m more hydrated.

    These look amazing, Katie! I eat chocolate for breakfast *almost* everyday…is this bad, I wonder? I add pure Dutch cocoa powder to my oats and generally melt in a little dark chocolate for good measure. Oh, and I add a spoon of peanut butter. It seems I have a chocolate/PB problem! 😉

    Reply

  29. Jess says

    Yum! These look great 🙂

    Also, I always let my extra pancakes/waffles cool completely on a cooling rack before packing them away in the fridge. That way there’s not heat to create excess moisture!

    Aahh the good old pancake– it’s so versatile and delicious. Since my family has a sit-down breakfast every morning, I generally save my chocolaty endeavors for my early morning snack (shortly after I get up– I couldn’t wait till 10am for family breakfast without it! I’m the only early riser in the family). However, cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate make a great addition to hot cereal when the craving strikes!

      I’ve been vegan so long that I really know nothing about working with eggs LOL!
      But a few commenters have made the oatmeal cookie version, back when I first posted it, with egg. And yes, ener-g is powder. You could probably just leave it out and increase the baking powder a little.

    Funny, this morning I just bribed my kids to eat their breakfast (new gluten free waffles I got to try and they hated) with chocolate chips…what kind of mom am I? It’s not like I was making them eat raw swiss chard. At least they were dark chocolate chips.

    I have chocolate all throughout the day, usually in the form of unsweetened cocoa powder and semi-sweet choc chips, starting from breakfast and carrying on through dinner and any post-dinner snackerie. I think these pancakes look heaven-sent and I will be making them soon!

    Is there anything wrong at all with chocolate for breakfast? I eat it in my oatmeal, in my banana sandwiches, in chocolate chip cookies and sometimes I even have real chocolate cake for breakfast. If it makes my day, it cannot be bad 🙂 .

    how acceptable would it be to make these for lunch? because i’m seriously dying at how incredibly delicious they look! this may be a dumb question, but what is an ‘ener-g egg’?

    Reply

    • Chocolate-Covered Katie says

      Not a dumb question at all!! Ener-g is a vegan egg substitute that you can buy at the grocery store in the baking aisle (well, at natural grocery stores anyway). It’s a powder made from tapioca starch and potato flour. You can probably leave it out in these pancakes and just add a little more baking powder.

    Huh, I guess my comment this morning never registered. Anyway, we made these for supper tonight and they were awesome! So flavourful and delicious.

    Another amazing recipe to add to my queue! This sounds amazing!
    I totally agree with what you said: when is chocolate not part of my breakfast? Sometimes I’m in the middle of making a meal and I realize that there is no chocolate involved, so I change what I’m making or add it. It’s not complete without it!

      P.S. I am so grateful for your honest advice the other day, re: foodgawker. As soon as I actually started trying to improve my photos instead of whining and thinking I’d done something to make them mad, they started accepting me again! It really takes a true friend to be honest! Love u!

        So glad they are taking them again…and yes, trust me, nothing personal with you. They get 1000s of submissions and I dont think they know who’s who, or care. They just want the images. If it doesnt make their cut, they reject. Cold and callous, but hey, at least it’s a line in the sand and it’s not personal 🙂

      Hey Caroline!
      It really depends on a lot of factors such as whether you like sweet pancakes, whether you’re putting any toppings on, or how much of a sweet tooth you have. For a sweeter result, maybe try a tablespoon? And do let me know whatcha think if you try them! 🙂

        I’ve used it in cakes before. In cookies it doesn’t rise, and you end up with big, flat, nasty cowpatty type burnt things. I think adding xanthan gum might help, but I’m not sure. I ask because I’m flying back to the east coast for a visit soon and wanted to make these for my severely allergy-ridden, gluten free hostess.

    I just made this and it was good! It tasted pretty much like an oatmeal chocolate chip pancake. However, I only got 3 smallish pancakes out of it and I had about 2/3 water in the mix. You can’t go wrong with adding chocolate chips in pancakes. I’m hoping I get a food processor soon to make your chocolate chip blondies…amongst other things.

  76. Katie Henderson says

    I made these this week, but as a gluten-free variation. Some words of caution to anyone who embarks on this arduous journey..
    Do NOT use GF pancake flour. Terrible taste, gritty texture.
    Do NOT use big GF oats. They don’t incorporate well into the mixture.
    Instead, double the flour, I highly suggest Bob’s Red Mill GF flour. There was a funky…almost…mushroomy(?) taste to the batter, so I added more sugar and a bit more vanilla. The flavor thankfully cooked out of them, and though I could tell a difference in the flavor, consistency and texture, the GF consumer was thrilled.

    I made some tweaks because I’m not vegan and need to protein-up anything carby I eat, but once doing that, these were really good. So good that I posted about them with my revisions here: http://www.eat-the-evidence.com/2011/06/22/breakfast-recipe-reviewtweaking/

    What I particularly appreciate is how the oats really make them filling and healthy. I changed to whole-wheat flour for glycemic reasons and wow, a pile of these in the morning mean I’m not hungry or carb-crashy for hours. That’s impressive. Bravo!

    THese pancakes were AWESOME! Instead of brown sugar or stevia as a sweetener, I used two drops agave, and a heaping teaspoon of soy protein powder(that stuff is so sickly sweet!). The pancakes were sooooo good, and just like the last time I made one of your pancake recipes, I couldn’t even finish the mini-batch! These are so very filling and delicous, I was quite pleasantly surprised (= Could you try to make a peanut butter cookie pancake?

Have you thought about somehow making chocolate pancakes with a peanut butter ((or banana butter would be awesome!!)) swirl??

Ithink I pinned every single one of them in pinterest!

    • Chocolate-Covered Katie says

      I would caution against using ALL coconut or almond flour. I’ve always heard that they are too crumbly alone and need to be subbed with 1/2 of another flour like ww pastry (or rice flour and some xantham gum). Also, coconut flour sops up liquid like crazy! So you might need more liquid too.

  91. Karen says

    YUM! We are out of chocolate chips, so we made these without them…for lunch. I knew I needed to add something kind of protein and something else to replace the chips. I made a pb syrup out of a little cream cheese, brown sugar, pb, & milk. It was so good! I also decided to stack two pancakes and “stuff” them with a little pb & let the kids dip in syrup. Much to my surprise, they didn’t care for the syrup, but had seconds on the pb stuffed pancakes. These will definitely be in our lunch rotation!

    I make these several times a week and they are delicious. I sometimes sub about 1/4 of the flour for almond flour. Anymore than that, and they get too crumbly, but the almond flour adds a nice flavor to them and makes them a tad bit healthier.

    Made these for the first time yesterday morning. What a flawless recipe! You are so awesome Katie. These, along with your brownie batter pancakes and red velvet pancakes, are likely just the best pancakes I have ever had (although these I think are my very favorite!).

        So this week I have proceeded to make your oatmeal raisin cookies, twice, the mint chocolate chip cupcakes, and now these pancakes!!!!!!!! They have all turned out fantastic!! I did discover that I should stick with the recommended amount of sugar for the cookies, they are way better that way then when I reduced the sugar. I used whole wheat flour for both the cupcakes and the pancakes. I am so happy to have stumbled upon your blog on pinterest!!! The cupcakes and pancakes were for my son’s 7th birthday and they thought they were eating so unhealthy….it was so fun to tell him that they were healthy!

    These looked so good and I tried them but they came out really lumpy and wouldn’t cook all the way through.

I know the mistake has to be on my end because these look so awesome!

      Can you please give more specifics than that. It’s impossible to know what you did wrong unless you give more specifics about the ingredients you used. Others have made this successfully, so I know it’s not a misprint in the recipe. The more detailed you can be, the better :).

    I just made these pancakes this morning and they are wonderful. 🙂 Thanks for another wonderful recipe. (My other favorite of yours is the single lady cupcake)
    My only added in treat: 1/2 scoop protein powder (in chocolate of course)

    My only problem is when I used myfitnesspal.com to add up the calories it was a heck of a lot more than what Allie (your other reader) came up with.
    I used your recipe as directed and mine were 356 calories (not including the protein powder) with the protein powder it was 426 calories.

    Of course, sorry for being vague!
    I matched the recipe pretty much to a T. I did the baking powder option in replacement of the ener-G egg, and I used almond milk for the liquid. I also used white flour.

      Arispa, you probably just used the whole 1/2 cup liquid instead of adding only as much as needed to arrive at the correct consistency. Next time just add liquid as needed. 🙂

    I woke up wanting something simple, filling, healthy, and involving chocolate. These absolutely did the job. In fact, they made my Saturday. I didn’t have chocolate chips but found some unsweetened baker’s chocolate and chopped two squares of that to make shaved chocolate chunks. Consequently, the pancakes were not very sweet but were very rich and filling. I could only eat two, and saved the rest for later (using your suggestion NOT to cover them). Thank you! I’ll be making these again, and I also look forward to trying the rest of your pancake recipes!

    This has got to be one of my favourite foods ever! Let alone breakfasts! I made it for my nephew and niece once and they LOVED it!

    I’ve made it a few times and I can give a hint, when mixing the ingredients before adding the chocolate chips, bar-mix the wet and dry ingredients together to get a really smooth consistency. It’s still chewy and delicious but they look like perfect choc-chip cookies and aren’t as lumpy.

      just tried this (finally!) with gluten free all purpose flour (some store brand stuff) It worked well, i just needed to add more flour than the recipe calls for, until it was pancake batter consistency! My first pancake turned out as mush, and i kept adding flour accordingly until i found a good ratio! But they were delicious! 🙂

    Made these for my sister this morning and she said it tasted like she was eating cookies…. and that’s coming from a serious chocolate and cookie lover 🙂 <3

    What is this DECADENT RICH CHOCOLATE WATERFALL that is flowing unto these beautiful pancakes? It looks incredible but can’t seem to find a simple “chocolate syrup” recipe on your site.. Is there a brand you reccomend?

    You are such an inspiration.

    With love,
    Rachael

    Just made these pancakes for the second time in two days… and they are yummy! Just a quick question, are they meant to be doughy (p.s. I don’t mind doughy pancakes!) x

    Hi Katie!
    I discovered your blog a month or so ago and have been trying your recipes since 🙂 Some have worked, some haven’t (my mistakes) but all of them have been lots of fun! You are so talented and so generous to share these with us. I love your recipes and I want to make all of them! Doesn’t it suck that some foods are so expensive and hard to find?
    Anyway, I love my pancakes so the cookie dough pancakes recipe is one of my fave recipes of yours! But I am curious… what does baking powder do? And what happens if I omit it?

    I’m a HUGE fan of your recipes but your nutrtion info is always kind of weird. The flour alone already has about 140 calories (and I mean without the oats!) So I really don’t get how you can calculate 130 for the entire recipe.. But great recipe anyways!

    Hi there,
    I was just wondering if you could tell me how to make these using cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips. I try really hard to avoid sugar. I will use a little coconut palm sugar or stevia. Do you think adding a little of one of these to the batter would be enough sweetness with the cacao nibs and if so, how much?
    Thanks!

    I made these today and they turned out absolutely perfect! My sister and I both agreed that these are the best pancakes we’ve ever had (not to mention how healthy they are). Thank you so much for your time and commitment to create healthy, delicious, and easy recipes! You really do deserve your success today!

    Hi Katie,
    I loved this idea. I doubled the recipe for hungry hubby and myself this morning and it absolutely did not work. Too soupy and so it didn’t flip without getting messed up. 🙁 I’ve put the batter in a bread pan to try and salvage it in the oven. Just wanted you to know in case anyone had a similar experience.

    I love.your blog Katie! These are my go- to pancakes! I always have to double the recipe since my non vegan hubby loves them so much! I use 1/3 cup of flour and 1/3 cup oat flour. I always let my batter sit for a little bit so maybe that helps because they turn out great. I do make them small though because the bigger they are the harder they are to flip.
