Churro Pancakes Recipe for Breakfast or Brunch

Our recipe for churro cupcakes has become a big hit, so I thought of using that same idea with a classic breakfast food–pancakes. Although churros are deep fried and my churro pancakes are not, I decided to take the cinnamon sugar concept and make a deliciously irresistible churro pancakes recipe.

Ingredients for churro pancakes

Churro Pancakes Directions

Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. 

Mixing dry ingredients together

Add milk, egg, and melted butter and mix until smooth.

Churro pancake batter

Using a 1/4 cup, pour batter onto heated non-stick pan or griddle at medium-high heat. (Our griddle has been a total game changer! We used to use a frying pan and making pancakes took forever. I highly recommend this Presto griddle.)

Churro pancake batter on the griddle

Cook both sides to golden-brown (bubbles will start to form when ready to flip; about 2 minutes each side).

Golden brown cinnamon pancakes on the griddle

When hot pancake comes off the pan, spread with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings. (We like maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.)
