Monster cookies are a favorite in this household.
Have you ever them?
Now, just so we’re clear- I am not talking about Cookie Monster cookies here.
Nope, I’m talking about the kitchen sink style cookie that gets loaded with oats, candies, chocolate chips and peanut butter.
With all those flavors in one treat what’s not to love?
And why should that killer combo be left for treats only?
This combo just begs to be put into a pancake fit for any special morning like a birthday morning, holiday, or heck even the first day of school.
It’s guaranteed to start your kids’ days off with full bellies and big smiles.
Ingredients
To make this festive breakfast you’ll need:
- Pancake mix– I prefer Funfetti pancake mix in this because of the extra sprinkle factor but you could use plain if you prefer.
- Water– For the pancake batter
- Oats– Avoid steel cuts and go with old fashioned oats.
- Mix ins and toppings– Mini M&Ms and Chips Ahoy cookies work well. You could switch up your candy and cookies to suit your preferences
- Peanut butter syrup ingredients– Creamy peanut butter, condensed milk, water and vanilla extract make a delicious and decadent pancake topping.
How to Make
These loaded pancakes are semihomemade so it keeps them super easy to make.
To do it, mix your pancake mix and water together.
Then, stir in the oats for a thicker batter if desired.
Once the batter is ready, grease a skillet well and heat it to around medium heat.
When the skillet is warm and water dances if sprinkled on it, pour 1/4 of a cup of batter onto your skillet.
Let pancake cook until it begins to bubble, and sprinkle with a few mini M&M’s.
When the bubbles begin to pop, flip the pancake over and cook for another minute or so on the other side to let it brown and then remove from skillet.
Cook 6 to 8 pancakes.
Once you have made your pancakes, stack pancakes on top of each other, adding mini M&M’s and Chip Ahoy Cookie crumbs between each.
Now you can put together the peanut butter syrup.
To do it, microwave your peanut butter and condensed milk in a microwave safe container until the peanut butter melts. This only takes 30 seconds or so.
When the peanut butter has melted, remove the mixture from the microwave and stir in the vanilla and water.
Pour the peanut butter syrup hot over pancakes.
Sprinkle top with more M&M’s and cookie crumbs.
Serve and enjoy!
How do I know when to flip my pancakes?
You’ll know when to flip your pancakes because the center of the pancakes will start to slowly bubble and those bubbles will pop.
The second side generally cooks a bit quicker than the first side and you’ll know it’s ready to remove from the heat when your spatula slides easily and cleanly underneath.
How do I know how hot to make my skillet?
You want the skillet to be at just the right temperature. I like to let it heat over medium for a few minutes to get it warm but not too high. Then I test it by dropping a little water on it. Your skillet will be the perfect temperature if the water dances.
If the water immediately sizzles, the skillet is too hot. Turn your heat down prior to cooking. If the water doesn’t do anything, then turn your heat up prior to cooking.
Tips and Tricks
- Feel free to switch up your toppings. Chopped peanut butter cups and Oreos would also be delicious additions.
- For an over the top treat, serve this with a dollop of whipped cream and some extra sprinkles right on top.
- Want a little more chocolate? Drop a few chocolate chips into the batter when you add the M&Ms.
