Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together to create the cinnamon swirl filling.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Immediately drizzle a spoonful of the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the center of the pancake.
- Using a toothpick or knife, swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter gently.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon mixture.
- For the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the pancakes stacked high, drizzled with creamy icing.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best fluffiness.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for optimal texture.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
Easy Variations
- Add Nuts: Chopped pecans or walnuts mixed into the batter add a delightful crunch.
- Fruit Twist: Top the pancakes with fresh berries or banana slices for a fruity kick.
- Chocolate Lovers: Add chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet surprise.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory side.
- A dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
