These cinnamon pancakes with a cookies and cream glaze are such a delicious option for your Pancake Sunday breakfast! I love the combination of the simple pancakes with this creamy and sweet glaze, and I'm sure you're really going to love this take on cookies and cream pancakes!

No Excuses to a Healthy and Tasty Start to the Day

This recipe will show you how I make simple chocolate chip pancakes and pair them with a delicious cookies and cream glaze on top! While it seems simple it was so amazing and fluffy and ultimately delicious! These pancakes are made with a few ingredients that are readily available in your pantry. They’re healthy thanks to the whole wheat flour mixed with all-purpose flour in the batter. The whole wheat flour adds some extra fibre that will keep you full and satisfied, ready to take on the day. You don’t have to fear pancakes in the morning! They certainly can be a healthy option and absolutely delicious, so you don’t need a special occasion to treat yourself!

The Protein Cookies and Cream Glaze

This is one of my many cookies and cream pancakes and it is seriously amazing! As you may be able to tell by now, I really enjoy cookies and cream! You can see my other cookies and cream pancake recipes, such as Let me know what you think of this cookies and cream glaze, and if you've got leftovers, I recommend you add it to some overnight oats as I do in these M&M Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats! While I used cookies and cream protein powder for the glaze feel free to use real Oreo crumbles as that would definitely make it cookies and creamy, and even put them in the batter!

Cinnamon Pancakes with Cookies and Cream Glaze

Get all your ingredients ready and enjoy these tasty pancakes for breakfast today!

Begin by preheating your oven to 200 F. You’ll transfer each cooked pancake onto a baking tray and adding it to the oven to make sure the pancakes stay warm.
The batter for our pancakes has cinnamon, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Then, in another bowl, add your egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. You want a thick, runny batter.
Make the cookies and cream glaze. You don’t have to add the cookies and cream glaze but I highly recommend it! You can see the recipe here. Basically, add your protein powder, milk, and cream cheese and whisk well. So easy so it’s worth the extra few minutes.
Now cook your pancakes. I have a full in-depth tutorial on cooking the perfect pancake in my Honey and Oat Pancakes recipe. Here is the main idea:
Heat a skillet on medium heat. When your pan is hot, add butter. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop some batter. Add your chocolate chips and wait for bubbles to form. Then, using a wide flat spatula, flip the pancake over and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Then, transfer to the oven. Repeat for the remaining batter.
Finally, scatter your pancakes on a plate. Pour your cookies and cream glaze, and top with whipped cream and an extra dash of cinnamon. Serve hot and enjoy!

This recipe will show you how I make simple chocolate chip pancakes and pair them with a delicious cookies and cream glaze on top! A simple but super sweet and fluffy pancake. I use cream cheese and cookies and cream protein powder for the glaze and use half whole wheat half all-purpose flour for the pancake batter.

Ingredients:

For the pancakes

1/2 Cup whole wheat flour
1/2 Cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 Cup milk or enough to make a thick batter
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp butter

Toppings

chocolate chips

Protein Cookies and Cream Glaze, as described below

For the cookies and cream glaze

1/4 Cup milk, plus more as needed
1 scoop Cookies and Cream protein powder
5 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

Instructions:

Prepare the cookies and cream glaze as described below.
For the pancakes, preheat the oven to 200 F.
To make the batter, combine the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, add all the wet ingredients and mix well. Transfer the wet mixture to the dry mixture and whisk well either by hand or with a stand mixer.
Heat a pan on medium heat with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan and sprinkle the chocolate chips on the pancake.
When bubbles start to appear and the underside has become golden brown, flip the pancake. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer your pancake onto a baking sheet and keep warm in your oven.
Repeat steps 4-6 for the remainder of your batter. Lay out your pancakes on a plate and pour your glaze over the top and sprinkle some cinnamon and whipped cream. Serve hot and enjoy :)

For the cookies and cream glaze

Add the protein powder and cream cheese in a small bowl. Begin whisking vigorously, and gradually add milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth, then set aside.
