Description

This Cinnamon Roll Pancake Bake is a deliciously sweet twist on traditional pancakes, perfect for brunch gatherings. Soft and fluffy pancakes are layered with a cinnamon-sugar swirl and topped with a creamy glaze.


Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 tablespoon baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1 1/2 cups milk

– 2 large eggs

– 4 tablespoons melted butter

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cinnamon swirl:

– 1/4 cup brown sugar

– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

– 2 tablespoons softened butter

For the glaze:

– 1 cup powdered sugar

– 2 tablespoons milk

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.

6. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour half the pancake batter into the dish.

7. Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.

8. Using a knife, swirl the batter gently to create a marbled effect.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

10. While baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.

11. Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm pancake bake and serve warm.
