Instructions

Prepare Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat to ensure it is warm enough for cooking the pancakes evenly without burning.
Make Oreo Crumbs: Process 5 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing them manually. Reserve 2 tablespoons of these crumbs for garnishing later.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and most of the Oreo crumbs (about 3 tablespoons). This ensures an even distribution of the cookie crumbs throughout the batter.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
Pipe Batter: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a squeeze bottle fitted with a small round tip. Carefully pipe the batter onto the heated skillet in thin, zigzag spaghetti-like strands to create the pancake spaghetti effect.
Cook: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pancake spaghetti cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Then, gently flip the pancake strands using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute until golden and cooked through.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked pancake spaghetti to plates. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top and serve warm with optional maple syrup or whipped cream for added sweetness and creaminess.

Notes

You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe gluten free.
Non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk works well as a substitute for regular milk.
For a lighter version, use whole milk instead of cream or replace the cream entirely with milk.
If you want an egg-free version, omit the egg or replace with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water).
Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil can be used instead of butter for a different flavor profile or to make it dairy-free.
Be gentle when flipping the pancake strands to avoid breaking them apart.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
