Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
These Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are a perfect breakfast for camp!
My friends keep posting these cinnamon roll pancakes and as a foodie I can NOT NOT make them. It’s sorta like they are posting things in hopes that I will make them at camp…well, they are getting what they aren’t asking for 😉
So over the past few months I’ve tried a variety of these “Cinnamon Roll Pancakes”. It seems that they are NOTHING like the pictures they are posting, but, they are making the image pretty in hopes that you are a sucker {much like myself} and will make them. The first time they were just a complete flop. The pancake batter was super runny and wouldn’t cook up like a pancake despite my best efforts to save it.
The second attempt resulted in some burnt ass cinnamon mixture to my skillet that ended up hardening and that I had to stand over my camper sink for 15 minutes to get clean. The third time was a charm because I got these results and they were pretty damn good too.
I will say that my Homemade Pancake Recipe is what I think {I may be biased} helped this recipe out. Because of the thicker batter it held the cinnamon mixture into the pancake and didn’t overflow it onto the pan. With the other recipes that I had tried the pancake was just so runny it was ridiculous.

Pancake
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup Sugar Free Almond milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Icing
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2-ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
TIPS
- Use a ⅓ c to place pancake mix onto the skillet.
- When placing the cinnamon swirl onto the pancake make sure there are bubbles on the top of the pancake. This let’s you know the pancake has firmed up and almost ready to be flipped.
- To make a pretty swirl design use a ziploc bag and snip off a piece of the corner. DO NOT get to close to the edge or you’ll end up with burnt cinnamon/butter on your skillet and you don’t want that!

Thanks for keeping the ingredients in order of use. I rarely read the instructions before making things, I just glance over the ingredients to make sure I have everything.
You’re welcome! I hate reading recipes and not using them in order. Pet peeve of mine 😉 Cheers!
