You will never want pancakes any other way after you have eaten these Maple and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes.
For me, pancakes are a sentimental and comforting food. I trace my love for pancakes all the way back to my grandma, who made the best pancakes in the world to me. Now that I am older, I am realizing that her pancakes were probably made from pancake mix, like Bisquick. In any case, they were perfect! The edges were nice, crisp, and buttery just how I like them; they were nice and fluffy and absorbed with just the right amount of syrup, and they weren’t perfectly golden on one side and burnt on the other side (sorry mom). They were perfect pancakes through and through. Now that my son is one year old, he is starting to eat pancakes and I bet if he could actually articulate the words he would say, “Mommy pancakes are the most amazing thing in the world”. I would gladly say, “ I know son. I love them too”. If my son is crazy about regular pancakes, I can only imagine his response when he tries these Maple and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes for the first time. Man, he will probably start talking then. My goal is to create awesome memories like I had with my grandma, with my son.
I can’t wait to feed my kid a whole bunch of stuff, but let me be clear, everything I make for my kid will not be 100% from scratch. No one has that kind of time. I want to talk to the mom who works (or stay at home), make three meals a deal, prepare snacks, work out, take care of her kids, herself, her car, her dog, shave her legs and armpits, polishes her nails and feet, keep her hair tight, and still presents herself to be fashionably aware while making pancakes from scratch! Where is she, because I am not her. I need a little help and I want to tell you moms and dads out there who may be reading this blog post, there is nothing wrong with making delicious and memorable dishes with a little help. The help I am referring to is a premade mix of sorts. Like Bisquick!
When I was growing up, there was always Bisquick in my grandma’s kitchen. Bisquick and bacon fat in an old shortening jar. I can’t count how many things she made using Bisquick but it was a ton. I have seen her make Chicken and Dumplings, Homemade Biscuits, and Strawberry Shortcakes with Bisquick. It’s a must-have in the kitchen. The best thing about using Bisquick is that its the perfect meal started to make something all of your own. In the case of these Maple and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, I added a little melted butter, maple and vanilla extract to the mix. Along with a cinnamon filling that just melts into the pancake as it cooks. My husband was the first to taste these and he said that you don’t need any syrup to go along with these pancakes. They are that good all on their own!
So, parents, you can’t do everything all the time. It is okay if you don’t always have it together. That is what awesome products like Bisquick is for! To make our lives easier so we can focus on making awesome and delicious meals that will create memories for our families.

You mention cream cheese for a topping, but it’s not in the ingredients list. How much?
