Gluten Free and Vegan Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Pancakes are everyones favorite weekend breakfast. My favorite pancakes in the world are the limited edition Cinn-a-Stack pancakes from IHOP. I get so sad when they disappear off the menu. The cinnamon topping is so tasty and I could probably eat it separately in a bowl. For the purposes of the recipe I put it in a squirt bottle to get that signature swirl, but honestly you could just spread it over a cooked pancake with the back of a spoon to double down on that lovely velvety, sticky, sweet cinnamon flavor.
