These Fluffy Vegan Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine the cozy flavors of cinnamon rolls with light, airy pancakes. Swirled with a gooey cinnamon-sugar filling and topped with creamy glaze, they’re the perfect vegan breakfast treat ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup milk (regular or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoon softened butter (regular or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon melted butter (regular or plant-based)
- 2 oz cream cheese (regular or plant-based)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour and mix until smooth with visible air bubbles.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, softened butter, and sugar to make the cinnamon swirl. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside.
- Heat a greased skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet per pancake.
- Pipe a spiral of cinnamon swirl into the center of each pancake, then pour 1–2 tablespoons of batter over the swirl to prevent burning.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden on both sides.
- In another bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, and cream cheese to make the icing. Microwave for 15 seconds if needed for easier drizzling.
- Stack pancakes and drizzle with the cream cheese icing, maple syrup, or both before serving.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- Add extra sugar to the swirl for a gooier center.
- Try a maple glaze by mixing maple syrup and powdered sugar instead of the cream cheese icing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or skillet, or toast from frozen.
