Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

I know a lot of my dessert posts would beg to differ, but I'm not a huge sweets person.  Especially not first thing in the morning.  But these pancakes have been floatin' around blog land and Pinterest for awhile now and I knew the rest of the fam would be on board.  I printed the recipe off weeks ago and finally busted them out this morning.  Click here for the recipe.

There are three components:  The batter, the filling and the icing.  Once you get those whipped up, these pancakes come together quick.  They would have been done faster if I hadn't let the filling bowl slip out of my hands and onto the floor.  I spent the next 15 minutes, sweeping, vacuuming and mopping up the mess.  You'll probably wanna skip that step.

I did mine on a large electric skillet so I could cook them all at once.  The recipe made six large pancakes, so if you're feeding a crowd, you'll want to adjust the amounts accordingly.

Here they are coming together at my house:

Here's mine on my plate:

They did taste exactly like a cinnamon roll.

For team raisin (which I am not), you could even throw some of those in.

Nuts would be good too, in the batter or sprinkled on top.

Not a bad Sunday morning breakfast.
