In August when my parents were visiting, I wanted to make some lemony blueberry pancakes for them. I tried a few recipes for the mix online with varied and not good enough results. So I made my own mix with Spelt, Rye/barley/kamut, flaxmeal and almond flour.
What did I make with the mix… Cinnamon Roll Pancakes! My baked Cinnamon rolls are gorgeous, delicious, tried and tested too, but I dont have the time to bake the rolls on weekday mornings. So as well use the cinnamony goodness in pancakes. Make a thick cinnamon sugar filling mixture and pipe it onto the pancakes. Dont worry if those circles are not pretty. Mine aren’t either, since I used a spoon to make them instead of a ziplock baggie. They all taste awesome! Top with maple or coconut cream.
Plain pancakes below.. Fluffy!
Surprisingly I have very few pancakes recipes on the blog. I make more French Toasts than pancakes. Though the recipes of both are easily interchangeable.
For Cinnamon roll French Toasts, make a thinner batter with the pancake mix. Make swirls with the filling on one side, pan fry and serve. yum.

Steps:
Mix all the ingredients of the pancake mix and keep in an airtight container.
Take a cup of the mix, add the wet ingredients and cinnamon.
Drop ladle full of the batter and after about a minute, make circles with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Flip, cook the other side.
Stack and Serve hot topped with maple syrup and a dollop of Earth balance.

- 1 Tablespoon baking powder

For the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes: Makes 4-5 pancakes
- 1 cup Regular Pancake Mix, (above) or use my Gluten-free Pancake Mix (see recipe notes for link)
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup water, or more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons oil, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
For the Cinnamon sugar filling

- 1 Tablespoon Almond milk
- 3 Tablespoon ground raw sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon flour
Instructions
Multigrain pancake Mix
- Mix everything well with a whisk and store. Use Arrowroot starch to make corn-free.
Cinnamon Sugar filling
- Whisk everything well and refrigerate while you get the pancake mix ready.
Cinnamon Roll pancakes
- Add the lemon juice to 1/3 cup water. Add the almond milk, water, oil, cinnamon to the dry pancake mix. Mix until just combined and let sit for 2 minutes. If the mixture feels too thick(it is thicker than plain flour pancake mix), then add a tablespoon more water.
- Heat the pan on medium heat. Grease with a little oil. Once the pan is hot, pour ladle full (1/4 cup) of the pancake batter for each pancake. Spread the batter a bit with the ladle if needed. Let it cook for about half a minute till it starts to bubble on the edges. Make circles on top with the cinnamon sugar filling(using a spoon or the sandwich bag method). Do not make the swirls too close to the edge of the pancake. Cover the pan for a minute. Let it cook until bubbles form in the center(3-4 minutes). Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan, stack and serve hot with maple syrup, a dollop of Earth balance or coconut cream drizzle.

I made the dry mix not too long ago, which was kind of a labor of love. When I asked my husband what he wanted for breakfast and he said “chocolate chip pancakes” this came to mind. So I pulled out the container and pulled up this recipe to see how much liquid I needed to add for 1 serving. I ended up having to double it to 2 after mixing the liquid listed for 1 cup of the mix. Just a heads up that you need to edit the mL conversion of “1/3 (314 ml) + cup water”; which I should have realized was wrong. 314 mL of water is about 1.5 cups, not 1/3 cup lol so needless to say, we had lots of pancakes this morning and the batter was still a little too runny so I’m glad I have 1/3 of the dry mix left to try again.
Thanks for catching that! Updating now
These are delightfully delicious and while they taste sinful there are really healthy, what with the whole grains and little added oil / fat.
Super fun to make as well.
I followed the recipe as written yet ended up with 3 pancakes using a 1/4 cup measuring for each.
On the flip side, had enough filling for 6, so added a second helping once the pancakes were turned over. decedent for sure. 🙂
Next time will use all the dry mix (3 cups give or take) and triple the wet + cinnamon.
Thank you for sharing.
thank you for making it!
OMG! Not only is this a delicious pancake mix on its own, but with the cinnamon sugar filing it is so good! Definitely satisfied my craving for cinnamon rolls.
Yay
