Cinnamon Roll Pancakes-gluten free style

    I am, as you know, addicted to Pinterest. This recipe has circulated Pinterest and facebook. Today I am snowed in.....so I decided it would be a great day to try these Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and turn them gluten free.
    They are very easy to make and maybe take an extra 10-15 minutes more than regular pancakes. They are very yummy. However, they are super sweet so you will want to serve some fruit on the side to balance the super sweet.
    Oh......and unlike the recipe circulating the Internet, I used a pancake mix. If you want to make yours from scratch then by all means do that and you will get a gold star for the extra effort. Otherwise...just use your favorite pancake mix and mix it according to the directions on the box. Drizzle the cinnamon filling on and finish it off with the drizzle when done and enjoy!!

Cinnamon Filling
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
11/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine the above ingredients and drizzle (in a circular swirl) over the pancake batter on the griddle. (approximately 3/4 T per pancake, depending on pancake size)

Cream Cheese Glaze
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2-ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine the above ingredients and drizzle over warm cinnamon roll pancakes.

I hope you enjoy these!!

Lemon Berry Pancakes....easy peasy

     I know that this recipe is not a rocket science level of difficulty. However, it is quite yummy so I had to share. I bought a big package of blueberries and thought I would use them in some pancakes. I also had some strawberries in the fridge. SO, that's where the berry portion of this idea happened. I decided to whip up some pancake batter using Gluten Free Bisquick. However, I thought it would be amazing if the pancakes had a lemon flavor to compliment the berries....thus the lemon berry pancake was born.

Lemon Berry Pancakes

1 C. Gluten Free Bisquick Mix
1 C. Milk
1 Egg.
2 T. Oil
1/2 tsp. lemon extract

1 C. Fresh Blueberries
1 C. Sliced Strawberries
Syrup

Combine the ingredients together until no lumps remain. Heat a griddle/ skillet. Pour approximately 1/2 C. of the batter onto the griddle. Sprinkle blueberries onto the batter. Flip the pancake when golden brown. Cook the other side until golden. Remove from the heat and top with more blueberries, strawberries, and syrup.

I heart blueberries

Pour approximately 1/2 C of batter onto the hot griddle.

Top the batter with fresh blueberries and cook until golden.

Flip and cook the other side.

Top with berries

Add a little syrup

Enjoy! These are SO yummy.

I hope you enjoy these pancakes. I think the lemon flavoring gives them something a little different.
