Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Yes, you read that correctly! I know it is hard to believe that all that cinnamon-y goodness could be packed into a pancake and still taste like a cinnamon bun with icing, but low and behold I made them and they were amazing! These take a little bit more effort than just a regular old homemade pancake, but they are so worth it. I think this is a perfect treat for Christmas morning or any special occasion breakfast. In the past, we have made our own cinnamon rolls and that requires you make and proof dough, however with the pancake version your family will have all the flavors of the cinnamon rolls without all that time and effort.

Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 Cup Flour
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tsp Vegetable Oil
Cinnamon Filling
- 6 Tbs Brown Sugar
- 4 Tbs Butter Melted and Cool to the Touch
- 1/2 Tbs Ground Cinnamon
Glaze
- 2 Ounces Cream Cheese Whipped
- 4 Tbs Butter
- 3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Glaze
- In a small saucepan melt the butter, the vanilla
- Add the cream cheese until melted
- Slowly add in the powdered sugar and mix until dissolved
- Set aside to cool
- Once cooled, fill a piping bag or plastic baggie with tip cut off with the icing or drizzle the icing with a spoon
Cinnamon Filling
- Melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power until melted
- Let it sit until it is cool to the touch, but not hardened
- Stir together all ingredients
- Place inside a piping bag with a small tip (If you do not have a piping bag you can cut a small corner off a filled plastic baggie)
Pancakes
- Whisk together the dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients
- Mix together lightly - do not overwork the batter, a few lumps are fine
- Spray a pan or griddle with cooking spray
- Over medium heat
- Drop a scoop-full of the batter onto the pan (for rounder pancakes use an ice cream scoop)
- Once the pancakes start to bubble,
- Grab the bag of glaze and draw a round swirl starting from the inside of the circle outward. Do not draw the swirl too close to the edge of the pancake or the sugar can burn.
- Check the bottom of the pancake flip when it is the desired color or light brown.
- Let the cinnamon side cook and check your heat to make sure the sugars are not cooking too quickly. If you need to remove the pan from the heat and lower the temp.
- Between each batch wipe out the pan to remove excess sugar.
- Drizzle each pancake with the icing

Jan's Best Ever Blueberry Pancakes
Pancakes bring back happy memories for many people. We remember mornings as children watching the magic happen in the pan. It was always fun to be served the warm round discs with a smiley face made of syrup. As an adult I do not care so much about the syrup instead I like to infuse some sweetness into the pancake with fruit and vanilla. When the cake comes out of the pan I slip it a pad of butter and lightly sprinkle some sugar, regular or powdered. Why are these pancakes the best ever? They are fluffy, sweet, and sophisticated, The secret to their more sophisticated flavor is lemon zest. If you are feeding more than 2-3 people you will want to double the recipe.
