MAPLE CINNAMON PANCAKES
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! I love breakfast foods! I so often have to rush through breakfast getting kids shuffled out the door, but when the weekend rolls along and we get a chance to sit down for a nice breakfast, it’s always fun to try out something a bit different.
I’d be telling you a little lie if I didn’t mention that I’m crazy for cinnamon sugar pancakes. It’s like getting to eat a dessert for breakfast…and I’ll take that any time!
HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON PANCAKES:
Make certain you have all these ingredients handy!
Ingredients:
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Vertical (Maple) Water
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Cups Homemade Pancake Mix
- 2 cups Homemade Pancake Mix or store bought pancake mix where you add fresh ingredients
- Cinnamon Sugar mixture

Directions:
Start by beating together your eggs, milk, vertical water, and oil until well blended. The vertical water gives it the beautiful maple flavor without being overly sugary like maple syrup. (You don’t want these Maple Cinnamon Pancakes too sweet!)
Next, add in your homemade pancake mix dry ingredients.
Don’t be afraid of the word homemade, it uses the most basic ingredients of flour, salt, sugar, etc and takes just a minute to make a big batch. You’ll quickly wonder why you ever bought the bagged mix.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until mostly smooth and well blended. A few lumps are fine, but you don’t want your mix super lumpy.

Now, scoop 1/4 cup or so of mix onto a hot griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You’ll know it’s time to flip your pancakes when you start seeing bubbles form on the still doughy side.
When your pancakes have cooked on both sides, remove from the griddle and lightly butter, if desired. Then, sprinkle the tops of your pancakes with cinnamon sugar. I have these awesome dredge shakers I use that make it so very easy! I keep one always filled with cinnamon sugar and one filled with powdered sugar as we’re always topping our foods with one of the two. They aren’t too expensive and come in a two-pack on Amazon.

These pancakes turned out so delicious with the slight sweetness from the natural maple water. My kids of course love syrup which is sticky, messy, and so overly sweet that I usually feel sick after too much syrup. Making the pancakes themselves have the maple flavoring was perfect! They weren’t overly sweet and there was no messy syrup to clean up! In fact, my little ones just picked up their pancakes and ate them without their forks. (Less dishes for me!)
FAQS ABOUT MAPLE CINNAMON PANCAKES:
Q: Can you leave out the maple flavoring and just have cinnamon?
A: Absolutely. If the maple flavoring isn’t for you, no worries. Just leave that step out and complete the remainder of the recipe.
Q: What toppings go well with Maple Cinnamon Pancakes?
A: Honestly, anything. Sliced fruit or berries, maple syrup, a big heaping of butter…It’s your stack of pancakes, how would you like to eat it?
Q: Do Maple Cinnamon Pancakes taste like Cinnamon and Sugar Toast?
A: Yes, that would be a good flavor comparison.

What a great idea to use the vertical water to make the pancakes so yummy. I think I’ll try this with waffles, since I like to add a bit of sweetness to the batter.

That does sound good! I like that the little ones could eat w/o a fork (but the Pretty Woman scene instantly came to mind). 😉
My family loves pancakes anytime of day! I love this combination of flavors!
I have never heard of Maple Water. I was thinking you would have poured straight maple syrup in them but then I though of how ‘rich’ that would be.
These sound great. I have never heard of this type of water but I am definitely interested in trying it. I wonder what oatmeal would taste like made with this water.
I, too, love breakfast! These pancakes look delicious. We haven’t made pancakes in a long time; maybe we’ll try this recipe.

Pancakes is a staple in our house and I cant wait to try these out.
Awesome way to enjoy some pancakes, I like to change it up when I make pancakes every now and then, sometimes it is blueberry, chocolate chip, or just plain, but I have to try these.
Your pancakes look fabulous! I have never heard of Vertical Water. I think it would be something my daughter might like. She says regular water doesn’t taste good. So maybe this with it’s hint of sweetness would taste better to her. I checked the website and they don’t sell it here in Oregon. I will have to see if I can find it on Amazon. Thanks!
My whole family loves pancakes, and these look delicious!
Breakfast is also my favorite meal of the day and these pancakes look very good, I will have to try that vertical water sometime. Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! Now that the weather is beginning to get cooler, we love a better breakfast.
What a fun way to spice up regular Sunday morning pancakes!
These pancakes look and sound so yummy. I am going to have to make these for the grandkids when they come to stay with me.
These look delicious. I was just pinning things on pinterest and almost pinned this recipe on my movie night board. I thought it would be fun to switch things up and have breakfast for dinner on our movie night. The vertical water is really interesting too..I’ve never seen it before
These look yummy. My family love all kinds of pancakes and I can’t wait to try these
These look wonderful. I love all kinds of pancakes and can’t wait to try these.

Never heard of Vertical Water before. Checked their link and it’s available at several stores near me. Pancakes look yummy.
these sound really tasty but i’d try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil
