Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are a delicious breakfast choice. Cinnamon and sugar swirls are baked into the pancake batter. The pancakes are finished with a cream cheese icing and are simple to prepare. This family favorite recipe was inspired by childhood pancake memories of your author. Bisquick is used in this recipe for convenience, but the pancakes are flavorful.
