Add cooking spray or oil to a nonstick skillet or griddle and heat it over medium heat until it's hot

For every pancake, put 1/4 cup of pancake batter on the pan

Once the top starts to bubble, flip it over and cook the other side for another two to three minutes, or until it turns golden brown

Do it again with the rest of the batter, adding more oil to the pan if needed

When the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie pancakes are still warm, top them with your favorite healthy things, like Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or honey

Enjoy your healthy pancake treat without feeling bad about it!
