Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

This last week I have been on a major pancake kick! No, seriously! I can't get enough pancakes!  I want them in the morning, lunch, dinner, and even snack times in between. It's that kind of craving you get when you are pregnant except you're not. Yeah, it's that bad. 

In my house, everyone is guaranteed to eat their whole plate if we are having pancakes. Double score for me! I get what I want to eat and get the satisfaction of knowing they are going to eat a lot too. 

Today we had cinnamon roll pancakes and let me tell you.... all of the boys kept raving over how good they were. 




Pancake Ingredients: 
  • 2 C. Flour
  • 1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
  • 2 Tbsp. Cinnamon
  • 1 C. Brown Sugar
  • 2 C. Milk
  • 2 Tbsp. Oil
  • 1/3 C. Butter, Melted
  • 2 Eggs, Beaten

Cream Cheese Glaze Ingredients:
  • 4 Tbsp. Butter
  • 2 Oz. Cream Cheese 
  • 1 1/4 C. Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tsp. Vanilla


Directions::
   We will be making the cream cheese glaze first. 

            In a medium microwave safe Pyrex mixing bowl, place the butter and cream cheese, and cook for about 10 seconds, stir and cook another 10 seconds or until they are melted. (If butter melts and cream cheese is just softened, this is okay because the heat from the butter will melt it when stirred) Stir in vanilla until well blended. Add powdered sugar and mix until there are no clumps. Set aside. 

            In a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients from the pancakes and mix well. Next, add all the remaining ingredients until smooth and lump free. I cook my pancakes at about low medium and use 1/4 cup to measure the batter. Pour batter onto skillet and watch for your pancake to get a few bubbles (this won't take but a minute or two), this means it is ready and flip. Leave it on this side for about a minute and remove. Once all your pancakes are done and on your plates, drizzle the cream cheese glaze across the top and add syrup. Ta-dah! ENJOY!
