Ingredients For Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Pancake Mix: Homemade pancake mix is something you’ll want to keep on hand. Use the easy blend in this recipe, or try my bulk mix recipe and make pancakes any time. A boxed mix can be used too. Cinnamon Swirl: This easy swirl is ready in seconds! Brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon create that warm and cozy flavor everyone loves. Frosting: Totally optional, but totally worth it! This cream cheese glaze is a rich and smooth blend of softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, creating a perfectly sweet and tangy topping for your pancakes.
Variations and Toppings
Add some pumpkin pie spice or some apple pie spice to the cinnamon swirl for a fragrant and cozy Fall flavor! Pop a few blueberries or sliced strawberries onto each pancake in Step 1. Some cocoa, chocolate shavings, or peanut butter can also be added to the batter before cooking. Besides the optional frosting, cinnamon roll pancakes can be topped with maple syrup, fudge sauce, cinnamon sugar, or a luscious strawberry sauce.
