Baked Cinnamon Roll Pancake

Original recipe can be found at Big Red Kitchen.  

 

 
BAKED CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES
 
The Pancake
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 4 T. butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 T. sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 t. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. salt
 
Cinnamon Roll Filling
  • 4 T. butter, melted
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar
  • 2 t. cinnamon
 
Maple Cream Cheese Drizzle
  • 2 ozs. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2+ T. maple syrup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a cookie sheet (17x11 or so) with  nonstick spray. In a large mixing bowl beat together eggs, milk and melted butter.  Add sugar.  Slowly whisk in flour.  Add baking powder and salt and stir to thoroughly combine.  Pour batter into prepared cookie sheet.  Combine the ingredients for the Cinnamon Roll Filling.  Pour into a small Ziploc bag and cut a small hole in one of the corners.  (Now if you check out the photo below from The Big Red Kitchen you will see how they made it to look like 12 cinnamon rolls. I was not so successful.) My method: squeeze the bag of filling, dropping dots of filling all over the batter.  Swirl in the filling with a skewer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes or until center is set.  Remove from the oven.  Combine ingredients for Maple Cream Cheese Drizzle.  Use as much syrup as needed to get the desired consistency you want.  Place drizzle in a Ziploc, cut off a corner, and drizzle.  Cut into squares and serve with sausage or bacon and a side of fruit.  Yummm
 
 
You will see below that Big Red Kitchen in clearly the winner for beauty! However, I am sure the they taste the same either way. :)

Pizza Hash...a low carb lunch.



PIZZA HASH
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1/2 head cauliflower, diced
  • 1/2 a bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 an onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • A sprinkle of Italian seasoning
  • 10 slices turkey pepperoni, diced
  • Cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté the veggies and Italian seasoning in the olive oil until soft and a little caramelized. Add water a little at a time if it seems to dry. The water will evaporate as you fry the veggies. When the veggies are done toss in the pepperoni and sauté another minute or two. Turn off heat and sprinkle with as much cheese as your low carb style allows. If you are an Atkins person maybe you will use 1 pound of cheese. If you are a caveman you will not use any cheese. Apparently cows were not created 6th day. Or if you are like me doing low carb/low fat more South Beachish thing you will enjoy a little cheese!
 
 
Excuse my photo!  It was an afterthought, after I tasted my dish, with my plate in lap and phone in hand.
