In August when my parents were visiting, I wanted to make some lemony blueberry pancakes for them. I tried a few recipes for the mix online with varied and not good enough results. So I made my own mix with Spelt, Rye/barley/kamut, flaxmeal and almond flour.
What did I make with the mix… Cinnamon Roll Pancakes! My baked Cinnamon rolls are gorgeous, delicious, tried and tested too, but I dont have the time to bake the rolls on weekday mornings. So as well use the cinnamony goodness in pancakes. Make a thick cinnamon sugar filling mixture and pipe it onto the pancakes. Dont worry if those circles are not pretty. Mine aren’t either, since I used a spoon to make them instead of a ziplock baggie. They all taste awesome! Top with maple or coconut cream.
Plain pancakes below.. Fluffy!
Surprisingly I have very few pancakes recipes on the blog. I make more French Toasts than pancakes. Though the recipes of both are easily interchangeable.
For Cinnamon roll French Toasts, make a thinner batter with the pancake mix. Make swirls with the filling on one side, pan fry and serve. yum.

Steps:
Mix all the ingredients of the pancake mix and keep in an airtight container.
Take a cup of the mix, add the wet ingredients and cinnamon.
Drop ladle full of the batter and after about a minute, make circles with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Flip, cook the other side.
Stack and Serve hot topped with maple syrup and a dollop of Earth balance.

- 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
For the Cinnamon sugar filling

- 1 Tablespoon Almond milk
- 3 Tablespoon ground raw sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon flour
Instructions
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.
