My friend shared this recipe for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with me, and oh my heavens, they're just delicious! We made them last week when we had breakfast for dinner (always our favorite midweek treat . . . ), and while I couldn't get mine to look nearly as pretty as Betty Crocker did, they still tasted just perfect. They really do taste just like a Cinnamon Roll!

(I love how Betty Crocker swirled it on top, and tried using a plastic bag for the icing but it was a bit too thick and didn't work for me . . . maybe it'll work for you!)

Since my kids are home from school this morning on yet another 2-hour delay, my daughter is over my shoulder watching as I type and just exclaimed “momma . . . those are so good, can we have them again today?” I guess I'd better finish up my work here and get to my real work, but be sure to add these to your must-try-for-breakfast list.
