Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Oatmeal cookie pancakes are like having cookies for breakfast! You’ll love these oatmeal pancakes with the bonus of cinnamon butter.
Today’s pancakes come from Cassie of Bake Your Day. Do you all know Cassie? If you don’t, you should! Cassie is pretty much the cat’s meow. I don’t even really know what that expression means, especially since I don’t like cats….but whatever. I love Cassie. You will too.
Hey friends! It’s Cassie from Bake Your Day and I am so excited to share this pancake recipe with you. I am thinking Rachel is pretty brilliant for creating a month-long celebration of pancakes and I am so glad to be here.
Now, if you came over from my blog, you already heard (or read) my confession: I’m not really a pancake person. I know, it’s a sin or something. I think that the real reason that I don’t like pancakes is because of the syrup…I’ve never really liked the stuff. So even though I set syrup out for us to eat with these pancakes, it is not necessary at all.
I combined my favorite thing – a buttery, brown-sugary oatmeal cookie – with soft fluffy buttermilk pancakes. And I’m now obsessed. Syrup didn’t get anywhere near these, because homemade cinnamon butter did. I may just become a sweet breakfast person yet!
Hope to see you soon!

Ingredients
for the cinnamon butter:
- 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
for the pancake batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or mild tasting oil of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- To prepare the cinnamon butter, mix the butter, vanilla and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until combined and well blended. Transfer the butter to a small sheet of plastic wrap. Cover with the wrap and shape into a small rectangle. Place in the refrigerator to chill until the pancakes are finished.
- Mix the “dough” by combining the oats, flour, cinnamon, salt and brown sugar in a small bowl. Heat the butter over low heat until melted, remove from heat and then stir in the vanilla. Slowly pour into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle pan over medium heat.
- For the pancake batter, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, oil and vanilla until combined. Slowly pour into the dry ingredients and mix just until fully incorporated.
- Oil the griddle pan and pour 1/4-cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle pan. Evenly sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the “dough” topping on top of the pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Flip the pancake onto a plate, “dough” side up. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with the cinnamon butter.

I have an oatmeal cookie mix. How can I use it to make the pancakes?
Rachel Gurk says
You should be able to just add it the pancakes in small crumbles after making it as directed.

I need to try these! My 7 year old is cinnamon obsessed, and will love them! I am on the fence with syrup too, so I like this idea!

Mmm, my boys love oatmeal cookie pancakes! I nee to make the cinnamon butter next time!
Michele says
Wow, so delish!!! I have an oatmeal cookie pancake recipe but it’s very different from this one. It’s my favorite but this one looks like it would put up a good fight. Have to try soon!
Christina @ This Woman Cooks! says
Sounds and looks delicious!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I eat maple syrup by the spoonful from the glass, just because. So I love me some maple syrup. But this butter sounds even better! And with those little dough pockets. Yum.

My mouth is watering. I’m not kidding! These look so good, I literally started drooling just looking at the pictures. And now I want a giant stack of these. Love the cinnamon butter, too. Great job, Cassie!

Cookies for breakfast. Sign me up! No syrup, please ;)
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
Oh wow these look incredible! I’ll be making these soon
Lesa @Edesia's Notebook says
I’m not a big fan of regular syrup either. I love the butter pecan at IHOP, and at home I usually choose a berry one. These pancakes look amazing. The cinnamon butter is a great idea.
Kathryn says
I love how these pancakes are a little bit different and that Cassie managed to incorporate one of my favourite cookies too! Great job Cassie!
