Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Start your day off right with cookies! Oatmeal cookie pancakes that is. Adjust to your favorite oatmeal cookie additions such as coconut, raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips.

What better than cookies for dessert? Cookies for breakfast! Okay, okay, these aren’t really breakfast cookies, but these oatmeal cookie pancakes are close enough to convince my belly that I had cookies for breakfast. I think the same logic would work for s’mores pancakes, right?

It didn’t occur to me how long it had been since I made pancakes until I saw this recipe. You would think after years and years of growing up with fresh pancakes made by my dad, that I would feel the absolute necessity to continue that trend on my own. Whoops, guess not.

Oh and in case I haven’t told you already my dad is pretty awesome in the cookie department as well, so a recipe combining the two was the perfect fix for my pancake drought.

Now the question changes – what’s better than cookies for breakfast??

Now that is one sweet short stack! Sounds like the perfect thing for a holiday breakfast or brunch, when it’s practically mandatory to indulge a bit.

I really need to start making pancakes more often. Somehow my husband doesn’t like them (Yes, I realize he might not be completely human) so I never treat myself. Lame. Must change ASAP.

Definitely kid friendly! If you look at the original recipe, she has a icing-type topping to go with.
