Cinnamon Roll Pancakes You’ll Love

If you love the warm, comforting taste of cinnamon rolls but want to enjoy them in a fun new way, cinnamon roll pancakes are the perfect solution. These fluffy pancakes are infused with cinnamon goodness and topped with a sweet glaze, combining the best of both worlds. Whether it’s a special breakfast or brunch, these pancakes will quickly become a favorite.

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to make the cinnamon swirl mixture. Set it aside.
  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
  1. Cook the Pancakes:
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Quickly drizzle a small amount of the cinnamon swirl mixture in a spiral pattern over the pancake.
  • Use a toothpick or a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter gently.
  • Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip it over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  1. Make the Glaze:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
  1. Assemble the Pancakes:
  • Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle the glaze generously over the top, and serve warm. You can also add extra cinnamon, fruit, or whipped cream as toppings.

Tips:

  • Customize the Swirl: Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon swirl for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Add Toppings: These pancakes are delicious with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
  • Make Ahead: You can make the pancake batter and cinnamon swirl mixture the night before and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast in the morning.

With a cinnamon swirl baked right into each fluffy pancake and topped with a creamy glaze, these pancakes bring all the flavors of a cinnamon roll in a fun and easy-to-make format.
