Kid-Crafted Pancake Recipes

IHOP's New Oreo Oh My Goodness Pancakes Were Created by a Kid

No one knows pancakes better than kids, which is why it makes perfect sense that IHOP's new Oreo Oh My Goodness Pancakes were created by a six-year-old.

The Oreo Oh My Goodness Pancakes are a delicious new breakfast dish that's available from IHOP for a limited time. The dish was the result of IHOP's annual Kid Chef competition, which involved kids ages 6 to 16 from the Children's Miracle Network Hospital dreaming up their very own pancake creations. The winning recipe was created by six-year-old Brody Simoncini, and consists of buttermilk pancakes studded with chocolate Oreo cookie pieces and finished with cupcake icing, whipped cream, and more crushed Oreos.

Best of all, $1 from the sale of every Oreo Oh My Goodness Pancakes goes to IHOP Free Pancake Day Charity partners.
