For the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes: Makes 4-5 pancakes
- 1 cup Regular Pancake Mix ((above) or use my Gluten-free Pancake Mix (see recipe notes for link))
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup water (or more as needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

- 1 teaspoon flour
Method
Multigrain pancake Mix
- Mix everything well with a whisk and store. Use Arrowroot starch to make corn-free.
Cinnamon Sugar filling
- Whisk everything well and refrigerate while you get the pancake mix ready.
Cinnamon Roll pancakes
- Add the lemon juice to 1/3 cup water. Add the almond milk, water, oil, cinnamon to the dry pancake mix. Mix until just combined and let sit for 2 minutes. If the mixture feels too thick(it is thicker than plain flour pancake mix), then add a tablespoon more water.
- Heat the pan on medium heat. Grease with a little oil. Once the pan is hot, pour ladle full (1/4 cup) of the pancake batter for each pancake. Spread the batter a bit with the ladle if needed. Let it cook for about half a minute till it starts to bubble on the edges. Make circles on top with the cinnamon sugar filling(using a spoon or the sandwich bag method). Do not make the swirls too close to the edge of the pancake. Cover the pan for a minute. Let it cook until bubbles form in the center(3-4 minutes). Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan, stack and serve hot with maple syrup, a dollop of Earth balance or coconut cream drizzle.
