Late last year I came across\u00a0Cinnamon Roll Pancakes<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Recipe girl<\/a> and immediately fell in love with the idea of morphing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together to create a super special brunch treat! I usually make a triple batch! The leftover ones are just as yummy as the fresh off the griddle ones. I would even go so far as to say they are better because the flavours have had a chance to meld and the brown sugar swirl has hardened as it cooled. Yummers!<\/p>\n

Yes, they are a bit of work to prepare but well worth the effort. So brew yourself a cup of coffee, gather your ingredients and do it! Start by preparing the Brown Sugar\/Cinnamon mixture, make the Cream Cheese Frosting and finally the Pancake Batter. Now I suppose you could cheat and use store bought Pancake mix, but why would you want to do that when whipping up Pancake Batter is so easy to do?<\/p>\n

Alright, get ready to make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes!<\/p>\n

\"Cinnamon<\/a>
A Scrumptious Brunch Cinnamon Roll Pancake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Mixture:<\/strong>
\n1\/4 cup Butter, melted
\n1\/4 cup Brown Sugar
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon<\/p>\n

Cream Cheese Glaze:<\/strong>
\n1\/4 cup Butter, softened
\n2 ounces Cream Cheese, slightly softened
\n3\/4 – 1 cup Icing Sugar
\n1\/2 teaspoon Vanilla<\/p>\n

Pancake Batter:<\/strong>
\n3 cups Flour
\n2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
\n1 teaspoon Salt
\n3 Tablespoons Sugar
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons Vanilla
\n2 1\/2 – 3 cups Milk
\n3 large Eggs, lightly beaten
\n1\/2 cup melted Butter<\/p>\n

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Mixture:<\/strong>
\nMelt butter in small mixing bowl; add brown sugar and cinnamon and stir well to combine.
\nPour the mixture into a Piping Bag or a small Ziploc Freezer Bag. (I fasten the end of my piping bag with a small clip, prop the bag in a drinking glass, fill the bag then put the whole thing into the fridge to bring the mixture back to a semi solid paste)<\/p>\n

Cream Cheese Glaze:<\/strong>
\nIn small mixing bowl cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until no lumps remain.
\nAdd icing sugar and vanilla, stirring well.
\nSpoon the Cream Cheese frosting into a second Piping Bag or small Ziploc Freezer Bag. (Again, I secure the tip while I load the piping bag and leave it sit in another drinking glass until I am ready to use it)<\/p>\n

Pancake Batter:
\n<\/strong>In medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; make a well in the centre.
\nIn large pyrex measuring cup, melt butter; add 1 cup of the milk then stir in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
\nPour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, add another 1 1\/2 cups milk along with the vanilla and whisk together until well combined; add enough milk to right consistency. \u00a0A\u00a0few lumps may remain.<\/p>\n

Now we are ready to cook the Pancakes!<\/p>\n

\"Cooking<\/a>

Heat a large non stick griddle to 350F. and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray.
\nScoop about 1\/3 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle, lightly spreading each portion evenly.
\nWhen pancakes begin to bubble pipe the Brown Sugar\/Cinnamon mixture onto each pancake and continue cooking pancakes until the bubbles begin to pop.
\nCarefully slide a wide spatula underneath the pancake and flip over; cook for another 2 – 3 minutes, until golden.
\nFlip the pancakes onto a plate.
\nServe each pancake with a drizzle of cream cheese frosting.<\/p>\n

Recipe girl tells you to wipe out the pan between batches but I don’t do that. I did it the first time I tried the recipe and found it just made a mess so I just scoop more batter onto the griddle after I remove a batch. The griddle does get messing, as does the spatula but both clean up very easily. Once finished cooking I pour a enough water to coat the griddle, stick the spatula in HOT water to melt the sugar off. Works like a charm every time! Trust me, if this did not clean up nicely, I would not make them as often as I do.<\/p>\n

\"Leftover<\/a>

Please do visit\u00a0Recipe girl <\/a> for the original recipe. She has also listed a couple of delicious variations. I definitely want to try the Gingerbread-Cinnamon Roll Pancakes around Christmas time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
