Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Breakfast is absolutely our most favorite meal. We love it so much the we don't just contain it to the morning, we eat it all day long.There's just no *wrong* time for breakfast. I love to have cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and have perfected making them the night before and baking them in the morning. But what happens when you want a quick meal and cinnamon rolls sound good? You get creative.

I was searching the web for a recipe for brown sugar oatmeal pancakes (there are a bunch of those!) and I stumbled upon cinnamon roll pancakes. Back up the wagon! Cinnamon roll + pancakes = YUM!

I'm going to link up to the recipe I used as inspiration~ 1) because she has nice pictures so you can see how delicious they look and 2) because I took no pictures since my family was scarfing them down faster than they were cooking!

I did customize it to our tastes though:

• I used my favorite pancake recipe but I added vanilla and cinnamon to the batter. (Maybe a teaspoon of each)
• After I added the cinnamon swirl, I sprinkled finely chopped pecans onto the pancake. Ohhh yeeeahhh.

We ate these with maple syrup, but I think next time I'm going to make a really thin cream cheese frosting to drizzle over the top.

My family loved these so much they asked for them for breakfast this morning and I even heard rumblings of how good these would be on Christmas morning instead of our usual cinnamon rolls. They really take no more time than a regular pancake and are so special.
