love this jazzed up basic pancake recipe with
cinnamon and sugar swirl. The perfect
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes!

When you have an extreme love of

cinnamon rolls, they are just worth taking
the time to make. Sometimes you may not
have two hours to make our from scratch
cinnamon rolls….or even an hour to make
our quick cinnamon rolls. That’s where these
cinnamon roll pancakes come to the rescue!

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

We’ve shared a lot of great pancake recipes

with you. I personally love them all, but this
one de"nitely is on the top of my list.
Cinnamon rolls have always been a family
favorite in our household. These pancakes
are almost as good as the real cinnamon
rolls.

They’ve got butter. They’ve got sugar.

They’ve got cinnamon. They’re soft and
!u"y.

These delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

originated from the Amish Griddle Cakes
recipe I posted recently. The only di#erence
is the awesome swirl that you put in the
middle while they are cooking. The swirl is
made of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
My "rst bite sort of reminded me of warm,
gooey, cinnamony buns.

What causes pancakes to

rise?

The baking powder in this recipe is what

causes the pancakes to rise. Don’t skip it. If
you don’t want to use so much baking
powder, try using 1 1/2 teaspoons baking
powder and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.

How to Make Cinnamon Roll

Pancakes
Prepare the sugar/butter mixture "rst.
Let the sugar mixture cool o# to room
temperature while you are mixing the
pancakes. If the sugar mixture has
thickened a bit, it will stay in a pretty
swirl much better.
After you’ve ladled the pancake batter
on the pan, wait until the cakes bubble
and rise before putting on the swirl.
This will help it not totally sink to the
bottom and mix into the batter.
You’ll "nd it easier to swirl the pancakes
if you put the sugar mixture in a Ziploc
bag and cut o# one corner of the bag.
Then you’ll gently squeeze it out onto
the pancakes in a swirl, starting at the
center of the pancake and moving to
the outside.

Don’t get too close to the edge of the

pancake when you are making the swirl.
The gooey sugar will run o# the
pancake. And if this happens, your
pancake will still taste perfectly…it just
won’t look quite perfect!

When the pancakes are done, drizzle

the maple cream cheese glaze over the
top for some more cinnamon roll $avor!

How many time should you

flip a pancake?
Allow the pancake to cook until the top starts
bubbling, then $ip it and allow it to cook for
a minute or two until it is cooked through.
You only need to $ip it once.

Why are my pancakes not

flu!y?
We love a stack of soft $u#y pancakes! In
order to keep pancakes soft, you want to
make sure you don’t overmix the batter.
Think of the batter like quick bread or
homemade mu!ns…the more you mix the
batter, the more gluten will form and the
tougher the baked good will be. Just mix
until combined. It’s ok if there are a few little
lumps. They usually cook out!

Can you mix pancakes ahead

of time?
Pancakes with baking soda such as this one
can be prepared the night before and stored
in the refrigerator. This saves the mess of
mixing up the batter the morning you want
to bake the pancakes.

If after making the "rst pancake they don’t

rise quite as much as you’d like, sprinkle a
little more baking powder over the batter
and gently mix it in. This should revive the
pancakes!

7. To make the pancakes, heat a nonstick

skillet over medium-heat and spray
with nonstick cooking spray. Scoop
about 1/2 a cup of batter onto the hot
pan.
8. Take the Ziploc bag of sugar mixture
and snip the corner of the bag.
Squeeze the "lling to the open corner.
9. When the pancake starts forming
bubbles on the top, squeeze the "lling
onto the pancake in a swirl, starting in
the center and working your way out.
Be careful not to get too close to the
edge of the pancake. Cook for another
minute or two, until the other side of
the pancake is golden brown. Quickly
$ip the pancake over and cook it for
another minute or two, until the other
side of the pancake is golden brown.
When you $ip the pancake back onto a
plate, you'll see the pretty cinnamon
roll swirl!
10. Before you put more pancakes on the
griddle, wipe the pan with a wet cloth
to get all of the sticky sugar o#. Do this
between each batch of pancakes.
Repeat these steps until all of the
batter is used!
11. Once your pancakes are done, you can
drizzle them with the maple cream
cheese glaze.
