Servings:

In a mixing bowl, whisk egg, milk, and oil until well combined.
1 large egg, ⅔ cup milk, 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
On top of wet ingredients, add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss together lightly before stirring into wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined, do not overmix. Set batter aside while griddle preheats.
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
Heat a griddle over medium heat. If desired, grease with butter, oil, or nonstick cooking spray.
Stir crushed Oreo cookies into the batter immediately before you fry the pancakes so they retain their crunchy texture. Add batter to griddle by about ¼ cup scoops, spreading to an even layer if needed (see note).
¾ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreo, about 8 cookies
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbles appear and pancakes look dry around the edges. Carefully flip pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Cooking note: This is a fairly thick batter, so you may have to turn the heat to low if the pancakes are getting done too quickly on the outside and not cooking through to the middle. Alternatively, you could thin the batter slightly by adding milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the batter is the desired consistency.
Make a double batch: If you are feeding a crowd, it's easy to double or triple the ingredients (2X or 3X). To keep pancakes warm until you're ready to serve them, put a wire rack on a sheet pan, and arrange the pancakes on the wire rack in a single layer as much as possible. Keep warm in a preheated oven (250°F).
Storage & reheating: Oreo pancakes are best enjoyed fresh. Once stored in the refrigerator, the cookies begin to soften. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat pancakes in a skillet on the stovetop, in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds, or in a toaster oven.
