Cinnamon Roll Pancake Recipe

Whether you’re a professional baker or an amateur in the kitchen, everyone loves a quick and easy meal. Pancakes, once you have a solid recipe down, are one of the most underrated, easiest foods to make. All you have to do is mix the ingredients in a bowl, and then pour into a skillet. No whipping eggs until they’re frothy, no mixing ingredients separately — they’re seriously thatsimple. And while these cinnamon roll pancakes might look impressive, they’re actually pretty easy to make, once you’ve got the basics down.

So once you have your pancake recipe mastered, which, you’re welcome, I already did for you (see below), you just need to think of fun ingredients to add in. Whether you stay simple with berries and syrup, or take a more adventurous route by creating Funfetti pancakes, the end result will always be delicious. In this case, I added in a cinnamon swirl, and topped the pancakes with a delicious cream cheese frosting, ultimately combining your two favorite breakfast foods, cinnamon roll and pancakes, into one fabulous treat. Whip these up, and be happy that you’ll never have to choose between eating cinnamon rolls or pancakes for breakfast ever again. Ah, don’t you just love it when you get the best of both worlds?
