Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

After sharing the Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts, I have had Cinnamon Rolls on my brain, and since we don’t live anywhere close to a Mall that has a Cinnabon Store, I figured I would cook up the next best thing…Cinnamon Roll Pancakes.

For many years, I have added syrup to pancakes for my oldest, but I had not ever made them the way Recipe Girl teaches, with a butter, brown sugar and cinnamon thick glaze swirled into the pancakes. So we set out to give them a try…and they turned out pretty well!

I drizzled the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with a simple glaze with powdered sugar and milk, of course you can certainly add Cream Cheese Drizzle, but I’m not a huge fan of cream cheese…I know the shame of it…right?

And…they were delicious! The Cinnamon Roll Pancakes were just as easy as regular pancakes to make, with just a few special tips…

Start with fluffy pancake mix – we like the Old Fashioned Homemade Pancake Mix
When you are making the cinnamon filling, be sure the butter is completely melted before adding the brown sugar and cinnamon – it will swirl easier
After mixing the cinnamon filling, pour into a resealable bag and snip a VERY small corner off
Heat up your griddle, but don’t get it too hot or the cinnamon filling will burn
When you add the cinnamon filling, be sure not to get it close to the edge
Flip the pancakes quickly
Wipe off the griddle in between batches

Add wet ingredients and mix well
In a small bowl, combine ingredients for cinnamon filling, pour into a resealable bag
Heat griddle to about 325 degrees {not super hot} - add non-stick cooking spray
Add pancake batter to griddle - I use a ¼ cup measuring cup
Cook pancake until it starts to bubble
Snip off a VERY small corner on the bag, swirl the cinnamon filling onto the pancake
Continue cooking pancake about 2 minutes or until brown, flip quickly so the cinnamon stays in the middle
Continue cooking another 2 minutes or until brown
