Print Recipe

These fluffy pancakes feature a cinnamon sugar swirl that mimics the flavor of cinnamon rolls, offering a quick and easy homemade breakfast delight without the wait of traditional dough rising.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk (or milk plus 1 tablespoon white vinegar)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the pan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar swirl:
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let butter cool slightly before mixing.
  3. Make the cinnamon sugar swirl: Mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold with a spatula just until combined; batter should be thick but pourable with some lumps.
  5. Heat the pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Cook pancakes with swirl: Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Drizzle cinnamon sugar mixture onto the batter in a spiral pattern and use a toothpick to gently swirl it through.
  7. Flip carefully: When bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 minutes), flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm: Stack pancakes and drizzle with maple syrup or cream cheese glaze if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use medium heat to avoid burning outside while keeping inside cooked. Let batter rest 5 minutes if possible. The cinnamon sugar swirl can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking mix. For vegan adaptation, use plant milk with vinegar and flax eggs.
