Course: breakfast
Cuisine: american
Keyword: cinnamon roll pancakes, cinnamon roll pancakes recipe
Servings: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

Pancake Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • cooking spray for frying pan

Cinnamon Drizzle:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ½ tbsp cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • ¾ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Make the pancake batter: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a larger bowl, combine the milk, butter and egg and whisk until fully combined. Add the dry ingredients and whisk together, but make sure not to overmix. Some lumps are fine!
  • Make the cinnamon drizzle: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Place in a piping bag fitted with a small, round piping tip.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Dollop 2-3 tbsp of batter onto the frying pan and smooth the surface with the spoon. Cook until the surface of the pancakes develop some bubbles, about 1-2 minutes. Pipe a swirl in the middle of each pancake with the cinnamon drizzle. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the surface has browned. Continue with the rest of the batter, wiping down the pan between each batch – the cinnamon sugar can make the pan quite messy!
  • Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the confectioner’s sugar and milk and mix until combined.
  • Drizzle over the pancakes and enjoy!
