We mean it when we say it&#8217;s OK if there are some lumps in the batter. This assures that you haven&#8217;t overmixed it\u2014but also means your dough has trapped air pockets, which help the pancakes turn out fluffy and tall instead of thin and flat.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with cinnamon roll pancakes?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve this cinnamon roll pancake recipe with all your favorite breakfast or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sunday-brunch-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sunday-brunch-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener noreferrer\">brunch recipes<\/a>, from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ham-and-swiss-omelet\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ham-and-swiss-omelet\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ham and cheese omelet<\/a> to an easy make-ahead quiche.

Or, make a diner breakfast in your own home with sunny-side up eggs, crispy bacon, and fresh fruit like berries, pineapple or orange slices.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you cook cinnamon roll pancakes in butter or oil?<\/h3>\n<p>I love to cook pancakes in butter, because butter makes everything better. Butter especially makes pancakes better, giving them a perfectly golden outside and that rich buttery flavor. Oil definitely works in a pinch, but you&#8217;ll miss out on delicious flavor.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These fluffy cinnamon roll pancakes take less than a half hour to whip up.
