Cinnamon Roll Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off for easy swirling. - Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing. - Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the surface lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. - Add the Cinnamon Swirl:
Once the pancake begins to bubble (about 1-2 minutes), pipe a swirl of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter. Start from the center and spiral outwards. - Flip the Pancake:
Gently flip the pancake when the edges start to set and the bubbles begin to pop. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancake is golden brown and the cinnamon swirl is slightly caramelized. - Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until a smooth glaze forms. - Serve:
Drizzle the pancakes with the cream cheese glaze and serve warm.
Enjoy your sweet, gooey cinnamon roll pancakes!
