Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. For each pancake, pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet. Quickly sprinkle a teaspoon of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking pancakes on a plate as you go.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to make the icing.
  10. Drizzle the icing and caramel sauce over the stack of pancakes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
  • Don’t flip the pancakes too early; wait until bubbles form on the surface.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest to serve them all hot.

Easy Variations

  • Add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the batter for added crunch.
  • Experiment with different flavored extracts, like vanilla or maple, in the batter.
  • Top with whipped cream or fresh fruits for an extra touch.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
  • Fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or bananas, for a refreshing side.
  • A side of yogurt for a creamy complement.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. The caramel drizzle and icing can be added fresh for best flavor.
