These Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine the fluffy texture of pancakes with the rich, spiced sweetness of cinnamon rolls. Swirled with a buttery cinnamon filling and topped with a luscious cream cheese glaze, they’re perfect for weekend brunch or a special breakfast treat!

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 1¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cinnamon Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
    • Transfer to a small zip-top bag and set aside.
  • Make the Pancake Batter:
    • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Add milk, canola oil, and beaten egg, stirring until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butter and cream cheese until melted (30-60 seconds).
    • Whisk until smooth, then gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Cook the Pancakes:
    • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease.
    • Pour ½ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
    • Snip a small corner off the zip-top bag and pipe a cinnamon swirl onto each pancake.
    • When bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve:
    • Transfer pancakes to a plate and drizzle with cream cheese glaze.
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra indulgence, sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped pecans onto the pancakes before flipping.
  • To prevent the cinnamon filling from leaking, ensure it’s thick and avoid piping too close to the edges.
  • For gluten-free pancakes, use a gluten-free flour blend.
