Best Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sheet Pan Pancake Recipes

CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the milk and 1 cup of the cereal in a medium bowl and let stand until the milk tastes like the cereal, about 30 minutes. Strain the flavored milk and reserve. Discard the soaked cereal.
• Crush the remaining 7 cups cereal in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin. Add 1/2 cup of the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar to the bag and shake until the cereal is coated. Pack into a 9-inch springform baking pan, pressing it about 1/2 inch up the sides. Bake until lightly toasted, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the gelatin with 1/4 cup water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together the cinnamon, remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter and remaining 10 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl to combine; set aside.
• Beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the cereal milk. Continue to beat on low until completely incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Microwave the gelatin, stirring as needed, until melted, about 30 seconds. Add the gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and beat on medium speed to combine, about 30 seconds.
• Scoop out about a quarter of the batter into another medium bowl and stir in the cinnamon-butter mixture.
• Fill a 1/4-cup measure with cinnamon batter and pour into the center of the crust. Fill a 1/2-cup measure with vanilla batter and pour into the middle of the cinnamon batter. (The batter will spread; as you add alternating scoops, they will widen, forming concentric circles.) Repeat with the remaining batter, alternating between flavors and using the 1/4-cup measure for the cinnamon and the 1/2-cup measure for the vanilla, until all the batter is gone. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Unmold the cheesecake. Pipe or dollop whipped cream around the top edge and top each dollop with a few pieces of cereal.

SHEET-PAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F.
• In a blender, combine the milk, eggs and vanilla and pulse to mix it well. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and blend until smooth, 25 to 30 seconds. Pour in half of the melted butter and pulse a few times to combine.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the melted butter on a sheet pan, then pour in the pancake batter. Sprinkle the strawberries, chocolate chips and blueberries over the batter in three sections. Bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes.
• Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter over the surface of the pancake.
• Cut into squares and serve with butter and warm syrup!

SHEET PAN SWIRL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the cinnamon-apple swirl: In a medium bowl, add the apples, pecans, brown sugar, applesauce and cinnamon and stir to combine. Set aside.
• For the pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar and baking soda until combined. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir together until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Brush the bottom and sides of a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with the melted butter. Add the batter to the sheet and smooth into an even layer from edge to edge. Spoon the apple mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, evenly across the batter. Then, with the back of a spoon, swirl the mixture into the batter. Bake until golden brown and the top springs back when touched, 20 to 22 minutes.
• For the maple-vanilla syrup: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the maple syrup and vanilla bean paste and bring to a simmer over medium low heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the pancake from the oven. Slice and serve with the warm maple-vanilla syrup and pats of butter.

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
• Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
• Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.

CINNAMON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Whisk milk, eggs, and melted butter together in a separate bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture. Whisk until well blended.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cup measures onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

CINNAMON PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined. In a lightly greased electric skillet, drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls; press lightly to flatten. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve with syrup.
