CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes combine two of the most popular amazing recipes ever: soft and fluffy pancakes with cinnamon rolls! This treat is incredibly delicious: you'll get the irresistible taste of cinnamon rolls with the quick and easy style of pancakes.
They are perfect for breakfast or just as delicious treat when you're craving a cinnamon sweet.
I've topped them with an easy sugar glaze made with powdered sugar and some drops of water, but you can also use cream cheese glaze as for the traditional cinnamon rolls, I leave you the recipe in the tips down below!
