Ingredients
For the Pancake Batter
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Plant-Based Milk (such as almond or oat milk)
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil or melted Coconut Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Cinnamon Filling
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Vegan Butter, melted
For the Cream Cheese Glaze
1/4 cup Vegan Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Plant-Based Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Make the Cinnamon Filling
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted vegan butter until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag and set aside.
Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is okay. Allow batter to sit for 3 minutes in the bowl.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Quickly squeeze or drizzle some of the cinnamon filling over the batter in a spiral pattern.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, about 2-3 minutes. Optional to remove from pan and eat or carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. If you don't use the flipping method be sure the surface of the pancakes are cooked through.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, first, then add plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with the cream cheese glaze, and enjoy your delicious cinnamon roll pancakes!
Feel free to top with additional maple syrup or your favorite fruit for extra flavor!
