Cinnamon Roll Pancakes…a jump right into Heaven on a Saturday Morning

wowie….these do not need a story…they don’t need any hype….they are plain and simple~AMAZING…without being plain and simple!

First I started with my Pancake recipe:

1 cup of buttermilk (I never have this on hand so I just add a few squirts of lemon juice into my milk) this time i used 1 cup of Almond Milk and i may be switching from now on
1 egg

add to it:

1 cup flour
2 T of sugar…(i just grab with my hand so you may want to add more or less)
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla
1/4 cup canola oil

mix all together and set aside…..

Cinnamon Filling

the recipe i found on Pinterst~ which led me to Recipe Girl…..her recipe called for 1/2 cup butter….i wanted to make it lighter so i replaced butter with vanilla yogurt (which if you’ve been following us…you’ll notice this is a trend of mine!)

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 T ground cinnamon

I beat this all together and then put into one of my cake decorator containers…you can totally fill a ziplock baggie and cut off the bottom corner of the bag

for the icing that goes on top….i didn’t skimp on calories because i knew we wouldn’t be using too much of it….unless one were to eat it in spoonfuls straight from the bowl…and that would NEVER happen here…(despite what Gracie says)

2 oz light cream cheese
4 T Butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

beat together in a bowl

now comes the cooking part…..in a skillet, add some canola oil and set the heat on medium low….pour in your batter and then swirl the cinnamon filling in a circle on the pancake….cook, flip, spread on some icing…..and giggle at the goodness!
