These Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are the perfect way to enjoy the warm, sweet flavors of cinnamon rolls in pancake form. I love making these when I want a treat that’s just as comforting but easier and quicker than baking traditional cinnamon rolls.
The cinnamon swirl and cream cheese icing make them absolutely irresistible. These pancakes are great for any meal of the day!
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine the classic flavors of cinnamon rolls with the fluffiness of pancakes.
The warm cinnamon swirl and creamy icing turn a simple breakfast into a decadent experience.
They’re quick to make, and the best part is, no yeast or waiting for dough to rise!
Ingredients
Cinnamon Swirl Filling
Cream Cheese Icing
Instructions
-
Stir milk and vinegar together in a bowl; set aside until milk "sours" (about 5 minutes).
-
In a separate bowl, mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Whisk egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the milk mixture.
-
Slowly pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until just moistened. It's okay if there are lumps.
-
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon.
-
Place the cinnamon mixture into a resealable bag and refrigerate for about 10 minutes until thickened.
-
Mix butter and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 40 seconds, stir, and continue heating until smooth. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract to make the icing.
-
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
-
Pour about 2/3 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form (2-3 minutes).
-
Cut one corner of the cinnamon mixture bag and swirl it over the pancake.
-
Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned.
-
Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the pancake.
-
Repeat with the remaining ingredients, spraying the griddle with cooking spray between each pancake.

Note
Make sure to wipe the griddle with a clean, damp cloth between each pancake to remove any leftover cinnamon mixture. This prevents it from burning and affecting the next batch.
