Indulge in the delightful experience of Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, a unique twist on your favorite breakfast classic. These fluffy pancakes are swirled with rich cinnamon and topped with a creamy glaze, making them perfect for special brunch occasions or leisurely weekend mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup flour (can use gluten-free blend)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (non-dairy milk works too)
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (substitute with vegetable oil if needed)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (mascarpone can be used)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, vegetable oil, and melted butter until smooth. Gently mix both mixtures without overmixing.
  2. In a small bowl, create the cinnamon swirl by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth; transfer to a piping bag.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and quickly drizzle the cinnamon mixture on top in a circular motion. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. To make the glaze, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter until creamy.
  5. Stack pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with cream cheese glaze before serving.
