We are now officially into things I have made since my husband moved to Colorado. Things he took to Colorado include our (my) camera! So I am stuck with my seriously old point and shoot. Which is such a shame with amazing breakfasts like this, you get stuck with not great pictures. But....I will get my camera back, and you will get good pictures again! It just might be awhile :(
I did it, I finally caved and made Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have seen these all over different blogs. I do not know where it originated, but whoever came up with it is genius!! It really was only a matter of time before I tried these. Pancakes are a big hit at our house, and my 6 year old can barely go a day without something cinnamon. I knew these would be a huge hit, and they were! I made these for the first weekend that my husband was gone. I figured we had made it through 7 days alone, we deserved a special treat!

Printable Recipe
Pancakes:
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 Tbls canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
Filling:
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbls cinnamon
Glaze:
4 Tbls butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 Tbls canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
Filling:
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbls cinnamon
Glaze:
4 Tbls butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
To make Pancakes:Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add milk, oil and egg. Whisk until just combined (lumps are good).
To make Filling: Mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Put filling into a zip loc bag and set aside.You do not want this to get too liquidy. About the consistency of toothpaste. If it gets too hard, you can microwave it for a few seconds.
To make Glaze: Heat butter and cream cheese until melted. Mix until smooth; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla.
Heat large skillet or Griddle over medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick spray. Pour about 1/2 cup batter into pan. Cut the corner of your bag of filling and squeeze a spiral of the filling onto the top of the pancake. Flip carefully when bubbles begin to appear on the surface. Cook for about another 1-2 minutes.
Serve with glaze drizzled over pancakes!
Firstly, I died with the thought of cinnamon pancakes! And then you went and iced frosted them with cream cheese! This is absolutely perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! xx

ReplyDeleteSounds amazing! I would have never thought of this myself. Like you, I must say that the original inventor of this is a genius. Love cinnamon rolls, love pancakes, so overall this sounds like a winner.
ReplyDeleteI loved these when I saw them on Lori's website and I've been meaning to make them ever since. So glad you gave them a go. They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI saw your title and said, "OOOO!" These look wonderful!!! I hope that the packing/moving is going well. I sure would have enjoyed these during that process - great comfort food. ;)

ReplyDeleteI've seen these a few times as well and they look awesome. I need to make them gluten free so my hubby can eat them with me. I would feel awful if the kids and I ate a bunch while he had none. It doesn't matter what camera you used they look delicious.
ReplyDeleteerin, your photos still great...and you cinnamon roll is also looks nice and I know it is tasty =)
ReplyDeleteOh my, my two favorite foods together in one dish! gotta give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteI adore these pancakes! And I think your picture actually looks really great! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are KILLER!! Holy cow, now that's my kind of breakfast, wow. God bless you for sharing these Erin, I MUST try these sometime, I think I love breakfast again lol =]
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing. I love cinnamon buns but never thought to put them in pancake form. I am not even much of a baker, however these I must try.
ReplyDeleteI made these for breakfast today. For some reason they were very rebellious! They didn't go too well when making them, but they were still very good when I put them in my belly. They were just very messy! The pancake batter was great, had no problems with that. But was your cinnamon swirl filling very runny? It was too liquid to pipe so I spooned it in, and then the glaze was a very unpleasant color (though very, very good). I think next time I might use less butter for the cinnamon swirl, but these are mighty tasty. Thanks for posting these!
