These Banana Oreo Pancakes are the perfect over the top breakfast treat! Sprinkles, cookies, and bananas give this pancake recipe a fun flair.
Pancake night really means no dinner inspiration or no cooking desire was found in me for the night. Breakfast for dinner comes in handy all the time!
We all have our own little pancake eating quirks too.
Our littlest guy only likes butter. Our daughter has to have butter and sugar. The oldest likes peanut butter and chocolate syrup.
Me, I just go for the straight syrup...maybe some butter. And the hubby, well, he does syrup most of the time, then chases it down with the butter and sugar method.
Every once in a while we pull out the fruit and Cool Whip, but the kids aren't as crazy about that unless we are doing "turkey" or "santa" pancakes. Then it is just about the decorating, because they don't like to eat pancakes that way.
I was feeling adventurous the other night, plus I had some brown bananas that needed used up right away.
And why not throw Oreos and sprinkles in too? Just for some more fun! Don't you think that sounds good?
How to make Banana Oreo Pancakes:
- Stir together baking mix, water, sour cream, and mashed bananas until combined. (full recipe at bottom of post)
- Gently stir in Oreo cookie chunks and sprinkles.
- Cook on a heated griddle for one minute per side or until lightly brown on each side.
Of course, I had to make a batch of plain pancakes too because the kids didn't want to mess up their pancake style with mom's crazy pancake creation.
They all tried a new one (and liked it) but then went back to the plain ones. Crazy kids!
Just means more yummy pancakes for me.
Now that I think about it...I think I froze the leftovers that night.
Yay! I know what I am having for breakfast now!
Do you have any pancake eating quirks???

I love creative pancake recipes! I've never thought to add Oreos to them though...amazing! I love storing extra pancakes in the fridge and eating them cold, with peanut butter during the week for a quick breakfast!
Hayley
Sprinkles, bananas AND Oreos?! Normally I'm not a pancake fan but I have to say, I am TOTALLY trying this! Imagine the different flavors by using different flavored Oreos! Yummmmm.
Holly
Holy.... cow! Oreos in pancakes? What a fun idea! Maybe I'll have to make these for Kelseys birthday breakfast! 🙂

Those look delicious! I think it's too funny that they just went for the plain ones!
I always have to have mine with apple sauce. ALWAYS! And if there's syrup, it has to be the one of maple variety 🙂
Crunchy Creamy Sweet
Yes! Oreos for breakfast! Scoooore 🙂

what a fun idea for pancakes! i don't eat them nearly as much as i should, considering how great they are!

Oh my, Oreos in pancakes, it can't get any better than that. My husband is just like your kids, he prefers plain pancakes. I, on the other hand, love all sorts of toppings
Joan@chocolateandmore
Jocelynn, Love this! I'm definitely going to sneak some cookies into my next batch of pancakes!
We love breakfast for dinner, in fact, that's usually the only time my family will get the "big" breakfast.

i can't believe your kids opted for plain instead. are they crazy??! ha! i am pretty much in love with this recipe since it requires no eggs. i have tried an egg-less pancake recipe before, and it was bad. so thank you for saving us from bad pancakes!
Aimee
Oh my word Jocelyn. You have gone over the top!! I love it! My favorite pancake recipe is from Joy the Baker (it's on my blog) the oatmeal cookie pancakes. It's so stinking good that it's all I make now!
My kids are the same each with their own way. I love mine drenched in melted butter and warm syrup!
