Fluffy, nutty muffins with a sweet jam surprise in the center!
Serving size: 1 muffin

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and oats.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk the egg with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk or fold in the peanut butter, vanilla, and milk.
  3. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet, careful not to overmix.
  4. In a lined or greased muffin tin, pour enough batter to just barely cover the bottom. Drop a small spoonful (about a teaspoon) of the jam of your choice on top of the batter. Top each muffin with more batter until it almost reaches the top.
  5. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes. For best results, rotate the muffin tin at halfway. Best served warm.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

The fluffiest pancakes ever have the added bonus of being completely vegan!

When I say pancakes have a huge significance in my life, I’m not lying. Since before I could walk, my mom would make pancakes on weekend mornings with me right there in the kitchen. When I was old enough to help, I did. The recipe my family always used for pancakes was one of the first things I could make all by myself and the first recipe I had completely memorized (I was so proud of that!). So yeah, I really love pancakes!

I am always trying to find new & unique combinations for a Spoonful of Smiles and now I present to you: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes! A combination of two classic breakfast foods in the most delicious way! Sometimes you just can’t decide, so why not make both? This recipe is relatively quick to put together and it’s best to have all your components prepared before you heat the pan. There is a simple glaze/frosting recipe included, but a cream cheese frosting would be great too!
