Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Add-Ins & For Cooking:

  • 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
  • Vegetable oil or butter, for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be very lumpy—this is the secret to fluffy pancakes!
  4. Add Oreos & Butter: Gently fold in the chopped Oreos, then drizzle in the cooled, melted butter. Fold a few more times until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear and pop on the surface. Flip confidently and cook for another minute until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate in a warm oven (200°F / 93°C) to keep hot while you finish the batch.

Notes

  • Tip for Fluffiness: The #1 rule is do not overmix the batter! Lumps are your friend and ensure a light, tender pancake.
  • No Buttermilk? No problem! Make your own by adding 1 ¾ tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
  • Serving Suggestions: We love to serve these stacked high with a dollop of whipped cream, a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce, and extra crushed Oreos on top. A side of crispy bacon or fresh berries cuts the sweetness perfectly.
  • Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These pancakes also freeze beautifully for up to 2 months! For the best texture, reheat them in a toaster or toaster oven to keep the edges slightly crisp.
