I really love oreos. I could probably eat them until sickness. Seriously. There is nothing better than dipping oreos in milk. At least that is what I thought until I made these delicious cookies and cream protein pancakes. They satisfied the craving to eat a bunch of oreos, and they are healthy too. I’d say that is a win-win.
These had some serious cookies and cream flavor going on. I used Musclepharm cookies and cream combat protein powder in the pancakes and then added cocoa powder to give them some of the chocolate cookie flavor. I layered the pancakes with a vanilla cream greek yogurt filling. Then I topped them with pieces of Musclepharm’s cookie dough combat bar.
If you like oreos, then these are most likely the dream pancakes you have been looking for all of your life. What is not to love about a protein packed breakfast that tastes like oreos? Or in my case dinner. Yes, I am weird like that. I eat breakfast for dinner most of the time.
They were my dinner from last night. I got done riding my bike and I had a craving for none other than pancakes. Since I am on my way to Arizona today for a bike race, I knew I had to make some pancakes before I left since I wouldn’t be able to make any for a few days. I guess you can always get a stack of pancakes from a restaurant, but they are probably not quite as healthy as these.
It will definitely be nice to get out of the cold Indiana winter and be able to ride in the sun and warmth for a few days. I can’t wait for summer to come. I have decided that I really am not a fan of the cold weather. I think I’ll be migrating to the south for winter when I get older. That way I can enjoy my pancakes in the warmth!

I’d love to know the brands you’re using for the cookies and cream pancakes. The 1/2c of whole wheat flour is 50g of carbs by itself! What am I missing here? My ingredients had the nutrition at roughly 600 cal, 51 protein, 81 carbs, 14 fat. I’d really like to try these, but the carb count is just too high.
Made these and they came out so dry. Used greek yogurt instead of pumpkin, do you think that would make it or break it?
I guess it could, but it normally hasn’t made them dry for me. Did you use whey protein powder? My protein is a blend so it doesn’t dry out like whey protein does. Also, cooking time matters because food with protein powder can dry out quickly! I hope that helps!
