These Vegan Cinnamon Roll Pancakes use my multi-grain Pancake mix. Delicious breakfast with With swirls of cinnamon sugar. soy-free, vegan recipe
Another Vegan Month of Food Week begins,
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.
More pancakes from the blog…
Tiramisu pancakes
Samoa French Toasts and Molten Chocolate French Toasts

Coconut Crusted Baked French Toasts
Savory Chickpea Flour Pancakes with Cauliflower and Mushrooms
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 (46.5 g) Kamut or barley, rye, sorghum, millet, buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup (60 g) Almond Oat flour To make the Almond Oat flour. Use equal quantities of almonds and oats and blend until coarse flour, or use 1/2 cup almond flour/meal
- 1/4 cup (59.15 g) ground raw sugar or other sugar finely ground or add sweetener/stevia later while making pancake batter
- 2 Tablespoons flaxmeal
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes: Makes 4-5 pancakes
- 1 cup (130 g) Regular Pancake Mix (above) or use my Gluten-free Pancake Mix (see recipe notes for link)
- 1/4 cup (62.5 ml) almond milk
- 1/3 (314 ml) + cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons oil optional
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) cinnamon powder
For the Cinnamon sugar filling
- 1 Tablespoon oil or melted Earth balance
- 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.

September 23, 2013 at 7:21 pmFirstly, these pancakes look so good. I’d seen the original recipe around the blogosphere but would feel better about eating your wholegrain, healthier version 🙂 Secondly, I love the new look. It looks really smart and pro. I think being right-handed make me prefer a right side-bar but it’s no biggie.
Richa says
September 23, 2013 at 9:38 pmI know right. when i am in a hurry i just sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top and eat them 🙂
i thought so about the side bar. will see for a few days and then change it up or try to.. depends on how complicated it is:)
VeggieAmanda says
September 23, 2013 at 8:56 pmWOW! Little pancakes of heaven! I am going to have to GF this recipe!!!
Sharon @ Bit of the Good Stuff says
September 23, 2013 at 9:30 pmWow these looks amazing! My son is a huge pancake monster and I know that he would love these for a special weekend breakfast 🙂
Just a quick question… is almond oat flour something that you make yourself?
Richa says
September 23, 2013 at 9:37 pmyes, i make the almond oat flour with equal amounts of almonds and oats. i use it in cakes and breads, so it is usually handy. You can use half almond flour and half oat flour or just use 1/2 cup oat flour.

September 24, 2013 at 12:07 amI’ve made cinnamon roll waffles before but never pancakes- So awesome! And beautiful new site, by the way! It’s just so gorgeous! 🙂
Richa says
September 24, 2013 at 4:59 pmThank you Kristy! It needed a redesign 🙂
GiGi says

Lindsay says
September 24, 2013 at 2:57 amOh, Richa! These are beautiful! Thanks for the little shout-out. 🙂 I love how you turn the epitome of comfort food into something nutrient-dense and healthy. Btw, I think your cinnamon swirls turned out perfect. Lol…I got 1 or 2 pancakes to look pretty good (put those on the top of the stacks), drizzled coconut cream to hide any imperfects, then took pictures. So, yeah, most of mine tasted wonderful, but didn’t look perfect. 😉
Richa says
September 24, 2013 at 5:00 pmthanks Lindsay. I know right.. those dang swirls. 🙂
it is difficult to not eat them up while clicking the photographs.. all that warm cinnamon in the air
Amey says
September 24, 2013 at 6:10 amoh my goodness. I love pancakes. Unlike your dad, I love sweeties for breakfast – i love waffles and pancakes and french toast and cinnamon rolls. I want to eat it all!! These cinnamon roll pancakes sound and look like heaven on earth!
Richa says
September 24, 2013 at 5:02 pmThank you Amey. I gave my mom some 7 grain mix to take back with her. she makes savory pancakes with veggies out of it 😉

September 24, 2013 at 5:04 pmOh yes it is. Thanks for letting me know. Some of the template default fonts are a bit too small or light. I will be looking at each and changing them over the next few days.

Mihl says
September 24, 2013 at 5:45 pmThose look cute. Oh, and I have to say that I love the new look of your blog!
Sunday Morning Banana Pancakes says
September 24, 2013 at 8:08 pmThe new Blog format is SO PRETTY- loving the fonts and clean design! Personally I like the main info on the left and the info bar on the right- maybe it is the whole reading left to right thing?
These pancakes look amazing and you know I am pretty picky about my pancakes 🙂
Jackie @ Vegan Yack Attack! says
September 24, 2013 at 8:20 pmI love the idea of having this flour mix on hand! I was just wanting to make pancakes, this morning, and made oatmeal instead because I didn’t want to bother measuring everything out. I’ll need to make this for the future!
Also, I love the new look of the site! Super clean and the photos are (obviously) eye-catching. Terrific! 🙂

I am planning on making these pancakes very soon! Question: is the 1/4 cup kamut etc…suppose to be flour. If I use barley…do I grind it into flour? thank you! Maureen
Richa says
October 31, 2013 at 12:19 amthey are all flours.

December 16, 2014 at 1:53 amRicha, your photography is sooo drool-worthy! It’s not even breakfast time, but I want some pancakes NOW!
By the way, have you ever written a post with any photography tips? I’d love to get a few pointers from you, and I’m sure I’m not the only one!
Sol says
January 4, 2015 at 9:40 amThis are amazing!! Just made a batch this morning and they were sooo good. Is it really for two people? because I finished the 4 pancakes as soon as they came out of the pan. thanks 🙂
Nina says
June 6, 2015 at 1:52 pmHi Richa! I have just made the pancake mix and the cinnamon sugar filling, so that I can bake these tomorrow morning. I was wondering if I could also make the milk/water/lemon juice mix in advance. I was guessing no, because of the acid in it, but I just wanted to check with you! 😉
Richa says
June 6, 2015 at 6:07 pmyes, that acts as buttermilk and it will loose the acidity as it sits. so keep it fresh.
