This recipe came about after I found a recipe in my FaceBook feed for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. After reading through the recipe I decided I wanted to try something different. So after looking at a few different ideas. playing with the batter and filling, and lots of taste testing this was the winner here.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 1/4 c. butter or margarine, softened but not melted
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 1/2 t. cinnamon

Glaze:

• 1/4 c. butter or margarine
• 2 oz. cream cheese
• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 1 t. vanilla

Pancakes:

• 1 batch Pancakes or use a prepackaged mix
• 1 t. vanilla (optional)

Directions:

Filling:

Mix all of the filling ingredients together. Put into a Ziploc bag or a pastry bag and place it in the refrigerator to chill.

Glaze:

Place the butter and cream cheese in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute on 50%. Stir and microwave again until melted. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Put into a Ziploc bag or pastry bag and place it in the refrigerator to chill.

Pancakes:

Mix up the pancake batter according to the directions and add the vanilla.

Get out the filling and glaze bags and snip a corner or an end off of each bag. (You may want to have a small plate or bowl to place the bags on/in as the filling and icing may ooze out.)

Heat your pan or griddle over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Begin by making basic pancakes. When you flip them over then make a swirl on the tops with the filling. (I snipped a little too much and had a thick line, but no one complained.)

 

The filling will melt into the pancake as the other side browns. Once cooked place the pancake on a plate and drizzle with the glaze. (Again, the more you snip the thicker your lines will be.)

Serve HOT!
