Sundays are pancake mornings at our house. This wasn't a conscious decision but one that just kind of happened. Every day I ask my daughter what she wants for breakfast and 4 or 5 Sundays in a row she said pancakes. Now I don't even ask her... She wakes up and will say, "It's Sunday... that means it's Pancake Day!"
Here's your cinnamon roll in pancake form! Okay, so it won't replace that yummy, gooey cinnamon roll, but it is a delicious pancake! Plus, how cute is the cinnamon swirl?
Have a great weekend!
Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes
Recipe from Erin of Naturally Ella
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Icing:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients except for cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, and oil- whisk to combine and pour over dry ingredients. Begin to heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
Remove approximately 1/3 cup of batter and place in a separate bowl. Add in cinnamon and stir (you made need more or less cinnamon depending on the quality.) Place batter in a zip lock back and cut 1/4" tip off the bag.
Dip 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Right after scooping each pancake, take the zip lock back and squeeze a spiral into the pancake. Let pancake cook until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip and continue to cook the pancake for 1-2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
Top with syrup or combine milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and create a simple icing for the pancakes.
Mmmmm... pancakes! One of my favorite breakfasts! I'm sure no one is really surprised that I like pancakes, though. I much prefer sweets for breakfast than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I like savory breakfasts, too, but show me a scone, muffin, waffle, or pancake and I will come running! :)
These pancakes were fantastic! I loved the texture the oats provided and the cinnamon flavor was wonderful. Another hit for Everday Food!
Cinnamon Oat Pancakes
Everyday Food
2 cups flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
In a food processor, combine flour through cinnamon plus 1 cup of oats. Puls to coarsely grind oats. In a large bowl, mix together milk, eggs, and oil. Add in dry ingredients plus remaining 1 cup of oats. Whisk just until moistened.
Cook on hot griddle. Serve with butter and maple syrup or topped with bananas and powdered sugar.
I saw this recipe at Dessert First and knew I had to try it. Both of my kids LOVE bananas (are there many children who don't?), so it was really a no-brainer. I loved the chunks of banana inside the pancake! These were really good and a great weekend breakfast!
Banana Sour Cream Pancakes
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup plus
1 tablespoon milk
2 extra-large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Unsalted butter
2 ripe bananas, diced, plus extra for serving
Pure maple syrup
Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mixing only until combined.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Ladle the pancake batter into the pan to make 3 or 4 pancakes. Distribute a rounded tablespoon of bananas on each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on top and the underside is nicely browned. Flip the pancakes and then cook for another minute until browned. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, add more butter to the pan, and continue cooking pancakes until all the batter is used.
Serve with sliced bananas, butter and maple syrup.
I love pancakes! They are the one food that I can eat more of than my husband! Okay, well pancakes and waffles. For some reason, they balloon up in his stomach and he can't eat a ton of them. So, I end up looking like a pig on days where we have pancakes or waffles. :)
These pancakes were fantastic! I loved the tang of the citrus in both the pancakes and the syrup. My three year old gobbled them up, too! What a fun variation! Loved them!
