If you’re looking for a breakfast that will knock your pretty little socks off- this is it.
These cinnamon roll pancakes are so rich and sweet. The vanilla cream cheese glaze that covers the top is like liquid gold.
It’s like getting cinnamon rolls without all the tricky yeast.
{I have yet to actually make home made cinnamon rolls because of the fact that you have to use yeast}
I found this recipe at Recipe Girl’s blog. Pure and utter genius!
I used my own pancake recipe but added the cinnamon swirl and the glaze from her recipe. You’ll end up with a fluffy pancake with a crispy sweet cinnamon swirl throughout.
Topped with the cream cheese glaze and you’ll have the real cinnamon roll effect. It’s nuts how amazing these things are! My kids were going crazy!
{may or may not have been from a slight sugar rush}
I think these are going to be a regular for our Saturday breakfast feast. Does anyone else go crazy with Saturday morning breakfast? It’s my way of apologizing to my children for 6Â mornings of cold cereal.
{but who am I kidding… they would eat cereal every meal if I let them}

I have to add that I agree with the whole homemade cinnamon bun thing. I want to make them, I really do. They for some reason intimidate me….besides the yeast factor…it’s the rolling out the dough part. My kitchen is not that large…I could use our kitchen table..but then I think about the mess. Oh boy. Now I just think I’m bugging out. 😉
I just died. for reals. Making these sometime this weekend!!
Oh my goodness! Those would be gone in seconds at our house. I wish it were the weekend right now…make time go faster!
I could just look at those pictures all day…. yum!
Wow, wow, wow! They look mouth watering good.
