How to Serve Vegan Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Stack them high and let the maple syrup cascade down like a waterfall! Add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top for a pop of color and flavor. Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas can add a splash of color and a refreshing twist. Don’t forget your favorite plant-based yogurt for that creamy touch – your taste buds will thank you! 🍓

Tips to Make Vegan Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

• Add some nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth in flavor.

• Try drizzling over some vegan cream cheese frosting instead of maple syrup for a fun twist!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding chocolate chips or walnuts to the batter for a rich twist! You can even swap the cinnamon for pumpkin spice in the fall to create a seasonal favorite. The options are endless!
