Cream Cheese Pancakes

These light, fluffy Cream Cheese Pancakes are the scrumptious breakfast dish you need to start the New Year right!

You know that cream cheese tastes delicious on bagels, in cheesecake, and on pumpkin bread. But did you know this creamy spread can also make your pancakes better than ever?

That’s right, it’s the not-so-secret ingredient in Cream Cheese Pancakes, putting a delicious twist on everyone’s favorite breakfast dish.

How To Make Cream Cheese Pancakes:

These made-from-scratch pancakes are almost as easy to whip as the kind in a box.

They’re made with flour, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, vanilla, a little sugar, and of course, cream cheese!

Whisk your dry ingredients together, then the wet ingredients together, then whisk everything together and pour batter into evenly measured circles in a pan or on a griddle; each disk will turn golden brown.

Yep, this Cream Cheese Pancakes recipe will make an Instagram-worthy pancake stack.

Better yet, they have a rich taste with a light texture that’s totally irresistible.

It’s like having dessert for breakfast, and trust me, your family will thank you!

How To Make Pancakes Fluffy:

• It is very important that you do not overmix your batter once you combine the dry and liquid ingredients together, you actually want to see some lumps, if you overmix it you’ll likely end up with chewy pancakes instead of fluffy ones.
• Let your batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing before you begin cooking. This lets the ingredients activate, leading to nice, fluffy, and delicious pancakes.
• To get all your pancakes the same size, use a measuring cup instead of pouring from the bowl into the pan.

Whether you’re making a big Sunday breakfast or hosting brunch, Cream Cheese Pancakes are always a crowd-pleasing hit.

You can top yours with maple syrup, but I prefer homemade Spiced Vanilla Syrup or Cranberry Orange Bourbon Syrup.

These syrups look and taste gourmet and add a nice finishing touch, plus they’re so easy to make.

If you’re serving guests, they’ll definitely be impressed!

And sometimes, I like adding a dollop of homemade whipped cream, too.

You can even try this Cream Cheese Whipped Cream for more cream-cheesy goodness.

My other must-have for Cream Cheese Pancakes is fresh fruit.

Since this recipe is perfect for any time of year, I always choose whatever is in season.

Are Cream Cheese Pancakes Healthy?

There’s a good chance that you found this recipe with a quick google search for Cream Cheese Pancakes and you might have been looking for the popular keto pancake recipe circling the web.

This is not it.

While I would not call these pancake unhealthy, they’re definitely not a health food or keto-friendly.

However, each pancake packs 5g of protein!

Can I Freeze Cream Cheese Pancakes?

You absolutely can and they make a great option for a quick breakfast!

• Once cooked and cooled, place wax paper between each pancake and stack together.
• Place inside a heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze.

To Reheat Frozen Pancakes:

• Microwave Method: Place the frozen pancakes on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave uncovered on high for about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until heated through.
• Conventional Oven Method: Place the frozen pancakes in a single layer on a cookie sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a 375°F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until hot. (My preferred method).
• Use the frozen pancakes within 1 to 2 months for best quality.
