These Vegan Cookies ‘N’ Cream Pancakes are divine, healthy, naturally sweetened and oil-free! Such a delicious breakfast and the Oreo cookies are homemade cookie crumbles!

I first saw this idea on Erika’s blog, The Pancake Princess. I love pancakes and I love Erika. You must check out her incredible blog of a million pancake recipes and delicious baked goods. She is one talented lady! She has several vegan recipes to choose from. So, when I saw her vegan Cookies ‘N’ Cream pancakes, I knew I had to try them. They are delicious. I had to adapt the recipe quite a bit to suit my own dietary choices, but I was definitely inspired by the Cookies ‘N’ Cream pancake idea! Her original recipe can be found here.

HOW DO YOU MAKE VEGAN COOKIES ‘N’ CREAM OREO PANCAKES?

I swapped out the oil for my roasted pecan butter. Ever since I discovered the magic of what pecan butter did for my Pecan Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (the best darn chocolate chip cookies on the planet!), I pretty much decided I will be using it going forward for A LOT of baking, instead of oils or vegan butters. It’s magic, I tell ya! Why? Because it is creamy, buttery, slightly sweet and imparts a richer flavor than butter or oil can do.

So, for these pancakes I used the pecan butter instead of oil, used whole wheat pastry flour for the wonderful tenderness it gives pancakes, and I used maple syrup instead of powdered sugar as the sweetener for that deep sweetness, coconut milk instead of almond and added some cornstarch for extra fluff . I also made my own “Oreo” cookie crumbles and “cream” syrup. They don’t exactly taste like the cookie, but for the pancake recipe specifically, as my intention, they worked great!

So, here you go, Healthy Vegan Cookies ‘N’ Cream Pancakes!
