How to Make Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Start out by making the cinnamon swirl mixture. Heat butter in a non stick pan, stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside to cool.
Heat your nonstick griddle, electric griddle or large skillet, add oil or nonstick spray if necessary.
Make your pancake batter by giving all of the pumpkin pancake batter ingredients a good stir with a wooden spoon in a large bowl.
Mix the pancake batter until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; they’ll disappear during cooking.
Scoop a 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet.
As the pancake starts to cook over medium heat, spoon the cinnamon filling into a piping bag ziploc bag. It will be the same squeezing texture of toothpaste.
Allow the pancake to cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface. This indicates that it’s time to flip.
Once the pancake is almost fully cooked on the first snide, cut a small piece of the corner of the bag. Starting from the center of the batter and squeeze the cinnamon mixture to add a swirl of cinnamon sugar swirl to the edge of the pancake batter.
Allow the pretty cinnamon roll swirl to set for at least one minute before flipping and cooking the swirl side.
Repeat for all pancakes until golden brown.
Meanwhile, while the pancake cooks, whip together the cream cheese glaze. You can drizzle this over the top of the pancake with a spoon or with an additional piping bag – your choice.
Serve these delicious pumpkin cinnamon roll pancakes recipe hot with maple syrup, cinnamon butter or whipped cream.
