Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze
With a cinnamon swirl and a cream cheese glaze, these pumpkin spice pancakes will become a family favorite throughout the fall and on Thanksgiving morning.
Ingredients
- 2 cups preferred pancake batter with half of oil/butter replaced with pumpkin puree
OR from scratch:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ 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 ⅓ to ½ 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.
i love this site. i enjoy looking through it.
yum
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.😂
