Tool Requirements

You’ll need a few key items to whip up these tasty cinnamon roll pancakes. First, grab a large mixing bowl for combining the dry ingredients. A whisk comes in handy for blending everything smoothly.

Don’t forget a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the pancakes. A spatula is essential for flipping them at just the right moment. You might also want to use a ladle or measuring cup to portion out the batter evenly.

For the cinnamon swirl, you’ll need a small plastic bag or piping bag. This helps create those perfect spirals on top of each pancake. A butter knife works well for spreading the frosting once they’re cooked.

Lastly, make sure you have measuring cups and spoons on hand. Accurate measurements are key to getting the perfect texture and flavor in your pancakes. With these tools ready, you’ll be all set to create a delicious breakfast treat.

Preparing The Ingredients

Get ready to whip up some delicious cinnamon roll pancakes! First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, plant-based milk, oil, and vanilla extract.

For the cinnamon swirl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set this aside for later.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to remove any lumps.

In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Pour in the plant-based milk, add the oil and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Now, slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your pancakes tough.

Your batter is ready! Let it rest for about 5 minutes while you heat up your griddle or pan. This short rest helps the flour absorb the liquid, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Grease your cooking surface lightly before you start cooking. Now you’re all set to create your perfect cinnamon roll pancakes!

Variations To Try

Want to mix things up?

Try adding chopped apples to your batter for a fruity twist. The apples will caramelize as they cook, giving extra sweetness and texture.

• For a nutty crunch, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the pancakes before flipping. This adds a nice contrast to the soft, fluffy texture.
• Feeling indulgent? Drizzle some melted chocolate over your finished pancakes. The combination of cinnamon and chocolate is hard to beat.
• For a fall-inspired version, add a touch of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to the batter. This creates a delicious autumn breakfast treat.
• Want something a bit more grown-up? Try adding a splash of bourbon to your icing for a boozy kick. The alcohol will cook off, leaving behind a rich flavor.
• Experiment with different flours like buckwheat or almond for unique flavors and textures. Each type of flour will give your pancakes a distinct taste and consistency.
• These pancakes are versatile. Feel free to get creative and invent your own variations based on your favorite flavors and ingredients.

Storage Tips

Want to keep those cinnamon roll pancakes fresh?

• Pop them in an airtight container and stick them in the fridge. They’ll stay good for about 3-4 days.
• Freezing works great too. Wrap each pancake in plastic wrap, then put them all in a freezer bag. They’ll last up to 2 months this way.
• To reheat, just toss them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Or warm them up in a skillet over low heat for a minute on each side.
• If you’ve got leftover batter, cover it tightly and refrigerate. Use it within 24 hours for the best results.
• For the maple syrup topping, store it separately in a jar in the fridge. It’ll keep well for about a week.
• These pancakes taste best when fresh. But with proper storage, you can enjoy them for days after making them.
