Description

These Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze combine the flavors of a classic cinnamon roll with the fluffy texture of pancakes, enhanced by seasonal pumpkin puree and warm spices. Swirled with a cinnamon-brown sugar mixture and topped with a luscious cream cheese glaze, they make a perfect fall breakfast or holiday brunch treat.

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined, careful not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off for easy swirling.
  5. Heat Skillet: Preheat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure an even cooking surface.
  6. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Pipe a spiral of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of each pancake.
  7. Flip Pancakes: Cook each pancake until bubbles form on the surface (approximately 2 to 3 minutes), then carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  8. Prepare Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.
  9. Serve: Drizzle the warm pancakes with the cream cheese glaze immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy and tender.
  • If the cinnamon swirl mixture thickens, gently warm it to make it easier to pipe.
  • These pancakes pair wonderfully with toasted pecans or a drizzle of pure maple syrup for extra flavor and texture.
