These Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes are light and fluffy and full of crunchy cinnamon goodness. You won’t be able to decide if you are eating breakfast or dessert!

We love a good pancake at our house and enjoy trying  lots of different flavor combinations.  If you are a lemon lover be sure and try these Lemon Pancakes topped with blueberry compote.  In the fall, these delicious Pumpkin Pancakes are perfect and  Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes are ones we serve often and top with fresh berries.

Whenever we go out for breakfast, which is a favorite Saturday morning activity at our house, I almost always get the pancakes.  I love a big, fluffy pancake and when you top it with some amazing cinnamon streusel it just gets even better.  It’s almost like having dessert for breakfast!  Now, I realize this might not be the most healthy breakfast but it sure is fun and delicious and a nice treat once in a while.

I love pancakes and I love anything topped in streusel so these pancakes are the perfect combination and are a fun choice for breakfast, dinner or dessert.

Now, they are definitely a special occasion kind of breakfast. I made them last Sunday morning because Sunday is always a special occasion at our house and a good reason for a special breakfast. I started with my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe.  Buttermilk gives the pancake a nice tender texture and it also has a chemical reaction with the baking soda to make a fluffier pancake.  So use buttermilk if you can.

How to Make Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes

  • When mixing up the batter you want it to be lumpy, don’t over mix. Those little lumps of flour are actually good for the pancake!

  • Pour 1 cup of batter onto a well greased griddle.  The recipe makes 6 BIG pancakes. pouring pancake batter onto griddle
  • Cover the top with a couple of tablespoons of streusel topping.

  • Let the pancake cook until the top forms bubbles (you’ll have to watch the edges and the majority is covered in streusel!)
  • Flip the pancake over and then load up the other side with the streusel topping! Never push down on the pancake with your spatula to flatten it.  You want it nice and tall and fluffy.

You can enjoy your pancake with some real maple syrup but I found mine was plenty sweet just as it was! We loved the crunch of the streusel on top!!

Next time you want a special breakfast that will knock their socks off give this a try.

    We LOVED these pancakes! Thank you so much for this recipe! I did make the following changes: made the cinnamon streusel with a small pinch of salt included, and cooked it in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, then cooled it down in the freezer for about 10 minutes, and added it to the pancakes according to the recipe. Other than that, the pancakes were PERFECT!!!!

    These look delicious! I’ll have to try them sometime! I often make breakfast for supper. Yummy!!

    Awhile back, IHOP advertised some pancakes with a yummy cinnamon sauce. Went looking on the internet, and, sure enough, found a recipe. It is to die for!! If you love cinnamon (and I think you do!), you’ll have to try it sometime!

    As you said, it’s like having dessert for dinner! 🙂
