Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine the fluffy texture of pancakes with the sweet swirls of cinnamon and a rich cream cheese glaze. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch treat that tastes just like a cinnamon roll in pancake form.
Ingredients
- For Pancakes:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (may need more if batter is thick)
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Or use pancake batter from a mix (e.g., Bisquick)
- Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare pancake batter according to recipe or package instructions.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
- Pour a portion of the pancake batter onto a hot griddle or skillet. Swirl a spoonful of cinnamon mixture over the top and then cover with more batter if desired to create a swirl effect.
- Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- For the cream cheese glaze, melt butter and cream cheese together, then whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle cream cheese glaze over warm pancakes and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare cinnamon filling ahead of time for quick breakfast prep.
