Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)
- Maple syrup for serving
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to make the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Immediately use a spoon to drizzle some of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of the pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the creamy icing and maple syrup.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for maximum fluffiness.
- Avoid overmixing the batter; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
- Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning; pancakes should cook evenly and not too quickly.
Easy Variations
- Add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the cinnamon swirl for added crunch.
- Incorporate chocolate chips into the batter for a sweet twist.
- Top with fresh fruit, like sliced bananas or berries, for a refreshing contrast.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory addition.
- Fresh fruit salad for a light and healthy side.
- A dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
