Ingredients
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 dash salt
Cinnamon Filling
- 3 tbsp vegan butter
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Icing
- ⅓ cup vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut milk
Instructions
- Prepare the pancake batter: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, coconut oil, canned coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Make the cinnamon filling: Whisk together the vegan butter, coconut sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag and snip a small hole at the tip for precise swirling.
- Heat and grease the pan: Lightly grease a pan and set the heat to low to prevent burning.
- Cook pancakes with cinnamon swirl: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Immediately pipe the cinnamon filling onto the pancake batter in a swirl pattern.
- Cover and cook thoroughly: Since the sugar in the filling can burn easily, do not flip the pancakes. Instead, cover the pan with a lid to allow the pancakes to cook evenly through low heat.
- Finish cooking: Cook each pancake for 3 to 5 minutes until fully cooked through. This recipe yields approximately 6 pancakes.
- Prepare the icing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegan cream cheese, maple syrup, and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm pancakes and enjoy your cinnamon roll pancakes!
Notes
- Using low heat is crucial to prevent the cinnamon sugar from burning.
- Covering the pan helps steam the pancakes and cook them thoroughly without flipping.
- The piping bag allows for neat cinnamon swirl designs, but you can use a ziplock bag with a small cut if needed.
- For optimal flavor, use canned coconut milk rather than the carton type for creaminess.
- These pancakes are vegan and free from dairy ingredients.
