I love experimenting with new kinds of desserts but what i love even more is experimenting with the flavours. I have tried making pancake bombs and they have been a hit ! This time i’ve come up with Cookies and Cream pancake bombs which are literally THE BOMB ! A bite sized chocolate pancake with cream cheese filling is literally one of the best breakfast recipes i’ve created. If you love cookies and cream as much as I do, you must try this Cookies and Cream Pancake bombs recipe right away.
INGREDIENTS USED IN MAKING COOKIES AND CREAM PANCAKE BOMBS
Whole wheat flour
I have used a healthier alternative to all purpose flour in this recipe, which is whole wheat more. It makes the recipe slightly more nutritious and also gives a good texture to the pancake bombs. You can however, always use all purpose flour if you wish to.
Milk
This recipe is an eggless recipe and hence milk acts as the binding agent. Milk along with vinegar forms buttermilk, which is a vegetarian egg substitute. Not only that, but milk makes the pancakes more moist and light after cooking.
Cocoa powder
The chocolate element in this cookies and cream pancake bombs is coming from cocoa powder. I have used Hersheys cocoa powder but you can use any.
Raising agents
Baking soda and baking powder are used as leavening agents to make the pancake bombs fluffy and light.
Cream cheese
This ingredient is what make it so indulgent. The creamy and rich texture of cream cheese makes it the flavour highlight.
Oreo biscuit crumbs
When we’re talking about cookies and cream, we of course mean oreo biscuits. Crushed oreo biscuits studded in cream cheese filling enhances the overall look and feel of the pancake bombs.
TIPS FOR MAKING COOKIES AND CREAM PANCAKE BOMBS
1. Let the milk and vinegar sit for 5 minutes so that the milk curdles properly before usage.
2. Whisk all the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients.
3. Use softened cream cheese and not straight from the refrigerator.
4. Heat the paniyaram pan well enough and grease as well before pouring the pancake batter.
5. You can switch the filling to your liking as well. This chocolate pancake batter goes well with nutella, lotus biscoff etc.
EQUIPMENT USED IN MAKING COOKIES AND CREAM PANCAKE BOMBS
One equipment that is absolutely necessary to make pancake bombs is an appe/paniyaram pan.
It is easily available in markets or online.
Not a single day goes in my kitchen when I don’t use a Silicon Spatula, this is the one I recommend. Same goes for my set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons.
