Description
Decadent, soft, and fluffy vegan pancakes swirled with gooey cinnamon-sugar and topped with a luscious vegan cream cheese glaze—these pancakes combine the warmth of cinnamon rolls with the comfort of pancakes in a dairy-free delight.
Ingredients
1 cup oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp vegan butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup vegan cream cheese
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp plant-based milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix oat milk and apple cider vinegar to create vegan buttermilk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add vanilla extract and the vegan buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, mix melted vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. When bubbles form on the surface, swirl in the cinnamon mixture.
- Cook for 1–2 more minutes, then flip and cook until golden on the other side.
- To make the glaze, whisk vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm pancakes and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
Use a zip-top bag for easy swirling if you don’t have a piping bag.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
Store leftover pancakes without glaze for best texture.
Freeze between parchment layers and reheat as needed.
