Cinnamon Toast Crunch pancakes are the breakfast you need to have on your table this and every weekend. A classic buttermilk pancake recipe gets a major upgrade with everyone’s favorite cereal. It’s a sweet spin on breakfast that will have everyone at your table begging for more.

One of my family’s favorite cereals is hands down Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

What’s not to love about little crunchy squares of love coated in cinnamon sugar goodness?

We eat it regularly for breakfast and sometimes as a treat.

It doesn’t get much better.

That is- unless you add it to fluffy buttermilk pancakes for a breakfast and brunch sent straight from heaven.

This recipe is no more difficult than making any other kind of pancakes or waffles but tastes so decadent that you could easily serve it up for Christmas morning breakfast.

Ingredients

For this recipe you need:

flour
sugar
baking powder
cinnamon
salt
crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
buttermilk
butter
egg
vanilla
maple syrup
powdered sugar
milk

How to Make

Making these is very similar to making other pancake recipes.

You just fold in crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in place of some of the flour.

To make it, start by whisking the flour sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a mixing bowl until everything is evenly combined.

Then whisk the crushed cereal into the mix and set the bowl aside.

Once you’ve got the dry ingredients whisked together, add the buttermilk, melted butter, egg and vanilla to a separate large mixing bowl and whisk them together until they are combined.

When the wet ingredients are well combined, stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in several small batches until it is all incorporated.

Heat a skillet over medium high heat. When the skillet is nice and hot, add 1/4 cup of pancake batter to it.

Cook the pancake for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles form in the pancake. Then flip it and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

When the pancake is puffed up and golden brown, remove it from the skillet and set it on a waiting plate.

Repeat with the remaining batter.

Once you’ve made the pancakes, make the powdered sugar glaze.

To do this, just whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract together to form a glaze and serve with the pancakes, pouring it over individual stacks of pancakes when you serve them the way you would with syrup.

Storing

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze leftovers by wrapping them tightly in plastic or foil and popping them in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.

Reheat leftover pancakes by popping them in the toaster oven.

Tips and Tricks

Do not overmix the pancake batter or the pancakes will be tough. The batter may have some lumps and that is perfectly fine.
Keep any pancakes you’ve finished warm while you are still cooking the rest of the batch by putting them on an oven safe place and putting them in the oven on the warm setting.
The pancakes will be ready to flip when they begin to get little bubbles throughout.
Make sure you leave room in the pan for your spatula to get under the pancake while you’re cooking them. If you pour the better too close to a skillet that has edges you’ll have a hard time flipping it.

Stack several pancakes, and pour some glaze over them just before serving.
