Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze
Ingredients
- 2 cups preferred pancake batter with half of oil/butter replaced with pumpkin puree
OR from scratch:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 Tablespoons butter room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- + milk optionally, to thin out
Instructions
- Start out by making the cinnamon swirl mixture. Melt the butter in a pan, stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside to cool.
- Heat your pancake skillet, add oil or nonstick spray if necessary.
- Make your pancake batter by stirring together all pancake ingredients with a wooden spoon. Scoop a 1/3 to 1/2 cup portion onto the skillet.
- As the pancake starts to cook, spoon the cinnamon swirl mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag. Once the pancake is almost fully cooked on one side, snip off the end of the bag and add a swirl of cinnamon on top of the cooking pancake. Allow the cinnamon mixture to set for at least one minute before flipping and cooking full on the other side.
- Repeat for all pancakes. Meanwhile, whip together the cream cheese glaze. You can drizzle this over the pancakes with a spoon or with an additional piping bag - your choice.
- Serve hot.

Love trying new recipes! I am going to make these tomorrow for breakfast. I am sure the kids will love them!
This looks like a cross between a pumpkin pancake and a cinnamon roll! Yum! 😀
Would be heaven for the pumpkin spice lovers.
So I made them for my kids this morning for an early Halloween breakfast. And after I added the cinnamon sugar mixture and let it sit for a bit, I then flipped it to cook all the way through. But the cinnamon sugar mixture melted and ran all over the pan. And the mixture turned hard like caramel. Is this normal or did I do something wrong? They taste great, they just don’t look anything like your picture.😂
Absolutely amazing recipe. My husband tried this for the first day of fall breakfast. So rich, better than most restaurants breakfast. We made 1 switch, instead of using plain cream cheese, we used pumpkin spice cream cheese. It really brought out the flavor in the pancakes & was a great addition. No need for vanilla if using pumpkin spice cream cheese. Also, when it came to the cinnamon swirl, it became chunky just sitting there between making the different batches of pancakes, so I couldn’t use the piping bag idea anymore, I stuck it in a bowl and reheated it in the microwave for 10ish seconds or until I got the consistency I wanted then drizzled it on with a fork & made the swirls by dragging the dots and mixing them slightly with the pancakes. Prep time longer than expected, but totally worth it.
Will definitely be a staple fall breakfast.
