Whether it be for a lazy morning or for Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Tuesday, it’s nice to have a couple of pancake recipes that you can turn to. These cinnamon bun inspired pancakes are a new favourite around here.
On a recent trip out of town, the kids enjoyed some cinnamon bun pancakes. They loved them! What’s not to love? Classic pancakes with a cinnamon filling swirl. These were topped with a icing sugar glaze which totally pushed their breakfast into dessert category.
I decided that this is something I needed to add to my repertoire, minus the sugary glaze. The swirl was made with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, key ingredients for making cinnamon buns. When you mix the filling ingredients together, you can pour it into a squeeze bottle or just put it into a sandwich bag and cut off the end.
The kids devoured these so I knew they were a hit. Instead of the glaze, we dusted with a little bit of icing sugar and topped with maple syrup and fruit.
