Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Introduction

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine the best of two breakfast favorites—fluffy pancakes and gooey cinnamon rolls—into one delicious dish. Swirled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture and topped with a rich cream cheese glaze, these pancakes are perfect for a special weekend breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

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

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small zip-top bag and set aside. You will snip off a small corner of the bag to create a piping bag for swirling the cinnamon mixture onto the pancakes.
2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are okay).
3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Snip the corner of the zip-top bag containing the cinnamon mixture, and pipe a swirl onto the top of the pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and continue to mix until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
5. Serve: Stack the pancakes and drizzle with the cream cheese glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!

Conclusion

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are a delightful and indulgent breakfast treat that combines the best flavors of cinnamon rolls with the ease of making pancakes. Perfect for a cozy weekend morning, these pancakes are sure to impress your family and friends with their delicious swirl of cinnamon and sweet, creamy glaze.
