Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are a cinnamon roll and pancakes all in one!  Drizzled with a delicious cream cheese glaze.

Over the Labor Day weekend we visited our son Logan in San Diego.  We had lots of fun and ate lots of great food.  One of my favorite places we ate was Snooze, a fun, funky and delicious breakfast spot.  Logan was working so we went on our own but he told us we had to try the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes.

When I got home I kept dreaming about those pancakes so I did a little googling and found today’s recipe for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes over at Recipe Girl. Now these pancakes aren’t exactly like the ones I had at Snooze but they are delicious in their own right!

You can use your favorite pancake recipe or even pancake mix if you’d like.  I love using our favorite Buttermillk Pancake Recipe.  The thing that makes these pancakes so amazing is the cinnamon sugar ribbon through the pancake and the cream cheese drizzle.

How To Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

There is a little trick to getting the cinnamon mixture just right and Recipe Girl has a great post on how to get the mixture just right here.

Be sure not to flip the pancake too soon.  You want those little bubbles to start forming.  When you do flip it don’t panic if the cinnamon mixture seeps out a bit.  It will be o.k.

The next step is to drizzle it with some yummy cream cheese glaze.  I put it into a quart size baggie and clipped off the corner and then squeezed it all over the pancake.  The more glaze the better!

With the yummy cinnamon filling and the glaze these pancakes don’t need any syrup.  But if you really need syrup I’d definitely use my yummy cinnamon syrup.  Really all you need to do is add a fork!
