Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine the best of two breakfast favorites: fluffy pancakes and sweet cinnamon rolls. These delightful treats feature a cinnamon-sugar swirl and are topped with a creamy glaze, making them perfect for a special morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
    • Transfer the mixture to a small zip-top plastic bag and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze:
    • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
    • Remove from heat and whisk in the cream cheese until smooth.
    • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and oil.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
  4. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
    • Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
    • Snip a small corner off the bag containing the cinnamon filling. When bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake, pipe a spiral of the cinnamon filling onto the batter, starting from the center and working outward.
    • Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
    • Wipe the skillet clean between batches to prevent the cinnamon sugar from burning.
  5. Serve:
    • Drizzle the warm cream cheese glaze over the pancakes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cinnamon filling is not too close to the edge of the pancake to prevent spilling.
  • If the filling becomes too thick, warm it slightly to achieve a pourable consistency.
  • For a quicker version, you can use a boxed pancake mix and follow the same method for the cinnamon swirl and glaze.
