#379: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes


Oh my gosh, make this recipe.  You should hopefully have everything on hand to make these so just run to your kitchen right now and make these pancakes.  They are delicious.  DELICIOUS!!  I'm sure the original recipe is fantastic, but I figured I'm make it a step easier by using ready to use pancake mix (the kind where you just add water) instead of making the pancakes from scratch.  This was a wonderful breakfast for Brian and I to enjoy together. 

***The original recipe says that you can't eat more than one.  Apparently if you use store-bought pancake mix, you can eat way more than one!  I used 1 1/2 cups of pancake mix for the two of us and we got 5 large pancakes from it.  Double that!***
Pancakes:
1 cup
all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten


Cinnamon Filling:
1/2 cup
butter, melted

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon


Cream Cheese Glaze:
4 Tablespoons
butter

2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prepare pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk in milk, oil and egg, just until batter is moistened (a few small lumps are fine).

In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a small zip baggie and set aside. You don't want this to remain super-liquidy. It's best if it becomes a consistency similar to toothpaste.

In a medium, microwave-safe bowl- heat butter and cream cheese until melted. Whisk together until smooth; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract; set aside.

Heat large skillet over medium-low heat. Spray

When ready to serve, spoon warmed glaze onto the top of each pancake.
