Description

Who says you can’t have dessert for breakfast? These Cinnamon Roll Pancakes bring the warm, comforting flavors of a classic cinnamon roll into fluffy pancake form, complete with a swirl and a sweet cream cheese glaze! Perfect for weekend brunches or any cozy morning treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Pancakes
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
    • 1 tbsp baking powder
    • 1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk preferred)
    • 1 large egg, room temperature
    • 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  • For the Cinnamon Swirl
    • 3 tbsp butter, melted
    • ¼ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • For the Cream Cheese Icing
    • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In one bowl, sift together flour, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, folding gently until just mixed. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Swirl: Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, then pipe a cinnamon swirl on top. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Make the Icing: Whisk together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the pancakes when ready to serve.

Notes

  • Resting the batter briefly helps create fluffier pancakes!
  • Use a nonstick skillet to make flipping easier and avoid burning the cinnamon swirl.
