There is something about fall and winter weather that just makes me think “it’s time for cinnamon!” Which is why I’ve whipped up this vegan cinnamon roll pancake recipe. It’s just that time of the year, right? This vegan cinnamon roll pancakes recipe is absolutely perfect for bringing the family to the kitchen table on the weekend to enjoy a warm, filling meal together.
Why you’ll love this vegan cinnamon roll pancakes recipe:
- Let’s be honest here. Its pancakes with cinnamon inside… Who wouldn’t love that? These things taste a-may-zing. If you haven’t had cinnamon pancakes before, then prepare to have your socks knocked off.
- These pancakes are surprisingly fluffy! For some reason, I was definitely expecting a flatter, more crepe like, pancake when I pictured these pancakes. But I was very pleasantly surprised with the fluffiness of these pancakes. They have the perfect about of fluff and weight to them.
- This cinnamon filling can be added to literally any pancake recipe. If you have a favorite recipe, you can just create the cinnamon filling and add a swirl to what you already love.
How to make this cinnamon roll recipe perfect:
- Be patient: Making cinnamon swirls in pancake after pancake takes a bit of skill and a bit of patience. Remember the cinnamon swirls don’t have to be absolutely perfect, they’re just astatically pleasing. When it comes to taste though, all that matters is that you get the cinnamon in the batter!
- Add some chocolate: If you’re a fan of chocolate chip pancakes, you might as well go ahead and turn these into chocolate chip cinnamon roll pancakes. What could it hurt? (Hint: nothing.)
- Use a piping bag: If you’re a baker, then you probably have a piping bag to use to add the cinnamon to the pancake batter. If not, you can create a piping bag-like tool with a zip lock bag by cutting a small hole in one bottom corner, and pushing the mixture out of it.
