    Vegan Multi-grain Cinnamon Roll Pancakes


     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.

    Ingredients

    For the Multi-grain Pancake mix: Makes about 3 servings of 4-5 pancakes

    • 1/2 cup (60 g) Spelt flour
    • 1 cup (125 g) unbleached white flour
    • 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.

    Notes

    Notes: For plain pancakes, mix everything under Cinnamon roll Pancakes, except cinnamon and use batter.

      Another delicious recipe from Richa! Perfect for weekend mornings. I use 1:1 sugar and cinnamon for the filling, add chopped walnuts, and top with coconut whipped topping. Tastes just like a cinnamon bun! The pancake mix is really nice as well, I use it for any pancake I make.

      Loved these mixed grain pancakes, surprisingly fluffy. I used buckwheat, all purpose flour, corn meal, and almond meal because that’s what I had on hand. I didn’t add the cinnamon swirl because I am hooked on the boozy marmalade from your orange cake😄. It was so good on these pancakes with toasted walnuts!

      Hi 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! 😉

        June 06, 2015 at 6:07 pm

        yes, that acts as buttermilk and it will loose the acidity as it sits. so keep it fresh.

      I 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! 🙂

      Oh, 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

        September 23, 2013 at 9:37 pm

        yes, 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.

      Firstly, 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.

        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:)
