Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Filling
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (for filling, separate from batter addition)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Make Batter: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix to maintain fluffy pancakes.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for the filling. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off.
- Heat Griddle: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes with Swirls: Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Quickly pipe the cinnamon sugar filling in a swirling pattern on top of the batter before bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: When the edges are set and bubbles appear on the surface, carefully flip the pancake. Cook until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon roll pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- You can use almond milk or any other milk alternative to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Using a piping bag for the cinnamon sugar filling helps create the signature swirl, but a spoon can work as well by drizzling carefully.
- Adjust the heat of the griddle as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
- For an extra indulgent treat, top pancakes with cream cheese glaze or whipped cream.
