How to Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Take these simple steps to make yourself your very own freshly made cinnamon swirled pancakes:

Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

In a small dish, mix the melted butter as well as brown sugar and cinnamon until it is smooth.
Transfer the mix to the piping bag or poly bag that has the end cut off. Set aside.

2: Make the Pancake Batter

Within a mixing bowl large enough, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, as well as the melted butter and vanilla extract.
Gradually introduce the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are well combined. Make sure not to overmix!

3: Cook the Pancakes

Prepare a non-stick pan or griddle at a medium temperature and then lightly grease it with oil or butter.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.
After bubbles have formed on the pancake’s surface (about 2 minutes), pipe a swirl of cinnamon filling on each pancake.
The pancakes should be carefully turned over and cooked for an additional 2 minutes or so until they are golden brown.

4: Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together hardened and softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Pour frosting with cream cheese over hot pancakes and serve them immediately.
