Oreo Cream Cheese Treat (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Oreo-Flavored Pancakes

01 - 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
02 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
05 - 1 ½ cups milk
06 - 2 cups regular flour
07 - 2 tbsp sugar
08 - ½ tsp table salt
09 - 1 tbsp baking powder

→ To Make the Creamy Drizzle

10 - 4 oz softened cream cheese
11 - 1 cup confectioners' sugar
12 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
13 - ¼ cup milk (adjust as needed)

→ For Garnishes

14 - Crushed Oreos (a little extra)
15 - Optional: whipped cream

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. In another, stir the eggs, vanilla, milk, and melted butter together. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry stuff while stirring gently. Add the crushed Oreos last and fold them in.
02 - Warm a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Wait for bubbles to pop on top, then flip them. Cook the other side for around 1-2 minutes until golden. Repeat until you've used up the batter.
03 - Using a mixer, whip the cream cheese until it’s lump-free. Slowly add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Keep stirring until it’s smooth and easy to drizzle.
04 - Layer the pancakes on a plate. Spoon the cream cheese topping over them and sprinkle more crushed cookies on top. Add whipped cream if you’d like. Time to dig in and enjoy a tasty cookies-and-cream breakfast!

# Notes:

01 - These rich pancakes can make any brunch or morning extra memorable.
02 - Letting the batter sit for about 5 minutes can make the pancakes fluffier.
