Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Who doesn't love pancakes? Who doesn't live cinnamon rolls? Combine them together and you have very happy family or at least I did. Pair it with some OJ and your good.

 

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter (cut in half)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 ounces cream cheese (best is at room temp.)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Hungry Jack Pancake mix (or whatever brand you want to use)

 

Directions:

1. Pre-heat your griddle. Prepare your pancake mix and set aside.
2. Make the cream cheese frosting. Take a small pan and melt half the butter 4tbsp) in pan.
3. Take off heat and add cream cheese and vanilla to the butter and whisk together.
4. Once your cream cheese is almost smooth add your powder sugar and mix until smooth. Set aside.
5. Make the cinnamon filling. In a small bowl melt remainder (4 tbsp) butter.
6. Add brown sugar and cinnamon.
7. Scoop pancake onto griddle.
8. In a circular motion starting from the center make the pancake swirl with the cinnamon mixture.    Make sure you don't get to close to the edge or the cinnamon will fall off the side and burn.
9. Once you see the edges are cooked flip over for a few minutes. Not as long as the first side or else your cinnamon will burn your pancake. I estimate 1.5 minutes. Just enough to cook the top of the pancake.
10. Take of the cinnamon roll pancake off and drizzle with frosting. Enjoy!

This is what happens when you get to close to the edges....OOOPS!

Two thumbs up!! Way to go Mom.
