Extra-Yummy Fluffy Pancakes

Great recipe for "Extra-Yummy" Pancakes with a nice touch of cinnamon! I used only two tsp. of cinnamon vs. a full Tbsp. and added a full tsp. of vanilla for good measure. Also, letting the batter rest for a few minutes while the frying pan heats up makes for really fluffy pancakes. These were perfect topped with butter and REAL maple syrup! Also equally awesome with sauteed apples over top...

When I read the recipe and it asked for 1 tablespoon of cinnamon I admit I did a double-take. However, as this is a new recipe that hadn’t been reviewed often I made the recipe exactly as stated. My initial thought was correct, the cinnamon is overpowering. The reason the cinnamon taste was so strong may be that I use a very high quality cinnamon. They were still good, but I would cut back to two teaspoons of cinnamon the next time; and as stated they were light and fluffy.

Light and fluffy, the five minute waiting time is really important to remember. They turned out great!

These were outstanding. The family LOVED them. I did a double take when I saw the amount of cinnamon. I ended up only using 1/2 Tbs and that was PLENTY. They turned out a lot fluffier than I thought they would when I poured them on the skillet. Will definitely make them again!

Absolutely extra-yummy and fluffy! I used whole wheat white flour and "soured" milk (milk soured with lemon juice). I did only use a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon only because I didn't want that to overpower the rest of the pancake and I used melted butter instead of vegetable oil only because I'm low on oil until payday. These turned out just wonderful! I served these with a homemade maple-vanilla syrup (which is also from this site) and it was just heaven. I think these would be just as tasty without the cinnamon, too.

Sorry to say but mine did not come out fluffy at all not even a little bit. I followed the recipe exactly so I don't know where I went wrong. Also, way too much cinnamon. Both of my kids did not like them and I didn't care too much for them either. I will not be making these again :(

Very nice, light and fluffy. The flavor was wonderful! I will deff. make these again, they are wonderful!!

very good. I left out the oil and they were still very good. I will try them with apple sauce next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and these were fabulous. Lots of cinnamon and vanilla make these unique and wonderful!

I tried these after I tried the Fluffy Pancakes on this site, and hated the taste of them. For these, I left out the oil in the batter because the batter was already very runny for my taste. I also cooked with cooking spray instead of oil. I only added 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and even that I think was too much. It just didn't taste much like a pancake and was too thin. Maybe I did something wrong. I did let it sit for 5 minutes. I would never make these again.

I made these this morning for my husband. They were good. I used 2tsp of Cin. like others suggested and it was still a little too much. Next time I will use less.

These are delicious, cinnamon pancakes. We loved them. I'm not sure they're any more fluffy than any other pancake I've made, but they certainly were good!

I do not know how the other reviewers made fluffy pancakes, mine came out like cookies.

Excellent, yummy, fluffy pancakes. Love the addition of the cinnamon; although, I did cut it in half in fear of it being overpowering. In the end, we felt they would have been great with the full amount, so my mistake. Seeing the whole family pleased with recipe, I will be repeating this one!

I liked these but I found them to be very dense in texture and kind of heavy. I will try to make them again to give them another shot but I may change things up a bit.

I know better than this, when I saw how much cinnamon it called for I should have went with another recipe. WAY TOO MUCH CINNAMON AND OIL.... NO FLUFF

Yummy Pancakes and they passed the kid test but the recipe calls for too much cinnamon. I did cut this to 2tsp and felt I could have used less. They are nice and fluffy pancakes that melt in your mouth.

These are so easy to make and cook and I loved the taste and texture. I will reduce the amount of sugar next time, but other than that, they were perfect.

Good pancakes! I did as others suggested and decreased cinnamon to 1/2T

These pancakes live up to their name! They are extraordinarily thick and fluffy! I only used 1 tsp. of cinnamon and it was perfect. 1 Tbsp. would have been WAY too much. I also rounded up to 1 full tsp. of vanilla, and I let the batter sit for a full 15 minutes. They came out nice and thick. I paired these with fried cinnamon apples (2 peeled and diced apples, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 1 Tbsp. butter), which created a sweet, thick syrup to top the pancakes with. I will never use pancake mix again now that I know how easy it is to make them from scratch!

I'll have to make these again, to get a truer idea of this pancake, overall. Because so many noted the cinnamon was too strong, I only used 1/2 tablespoon, then tasted the batter. Since it did not taste overpowering, I added the other 1/2 tablespoon, so more stirring. These did not "fluff" as I would like, and the batter was thin. To add more flour would require still MORE stirring, so I'd like to try it next time using the full tablespoon cinnamon and adding an extra tablespoon or so flour.

Just made for breakfast this morning and they are light and fluffy just how I like my pancakes. I did omit the cinnamon because to me it wasn't necessary for my flavor pallet. This one is a keeper! (5 stars)

The cinnamin in this recipe is too much. I will omit it the next time. The pancakes were a little heavy, but overall, crowd pleasing.

These were good and fluffy. I added thinly sliced bananas to some.

I made these once recently and plan on making them again this morning. I substituted some wheat flour for some of the white and added frozen blueberries to them while the were cooking and they were delicious! !! The best pancakes I ever made even with the full TBSP of cinnamon! The cinnamon flaver esp. With the blueberries was so good I snacked on them later on that day without syrup and I'm not even a big fan of blueberries! Definitely a keeper! My husband and kids like them too!

Loved this one is so simple, fluffy and yummy! Everyone loves them. I double it and put it on my pampered chef bar pan when we have lots of guests stay over usually on the holidays. Makes it much easier while cooking other things. Big batch comes out at once :) excellent recipe

These are the ONLY pancakes that I ever make! My kids even request them by "name"! My family is full of pancake lovers, and ever since we've started using this recipe, there are no more "boxed" pancake mixes for them! The pancakes are consistently moist, fluffy and have great flavor-- the way pancakes were meant to be! We change some of the measurements of sugar, vanilla and cinnamon to our tastes, but it is also awesome the way the recipe is written. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!!

The 2 Kids say: "I'd give it a 5", and "I'd give it a 100!" So there you go.

I love this recipe! It's by far my favorite pancake recipe and my guests loved them!

So yummy! I trimmed down the cinnamon to 1/2 a teaspoon and topped w/ blackberries and mango. Perfect for a sunday morning w/ the family ;)

These were fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and loved the cinnamon flavor. I made cinnamon syrup (another recipe on this site) to eat with my pancakes, and that was too much cinnamon. Next time I'll make a different syrup for these pancakes.

Great consistency. I only used 1 teaspoon of cinnamon though. We liked these pancakes a lot.

This is good. I didn't use the entire amount of baking powder, more like 2 tsp's. Used melted butter instead of oil. My batter sat for an hour prior to using and it was fine (contrary to previous review). I wasn't about to use a tablespoon of cinnamon - I used maybe 1/2 tsp. Also grated some fresh nutmeg in. Nice, simple easy recipe. I'll use it again. Thanks Janice :)

Perfect easy recipe I used buttermilk instead of regular milk everyone loved them...and it was my first time making homemade pancakes :-)

I needed to add a little more flour but they were very very tasty and my kids ate them up!

They came out very light and fluffy. The cinnamon was a great addition.

Delicious! Made them for the family this morning to rave reviews. Cinnamon and vanilla scented my kitchen. Yum!!

Extra-Yummy Fluffy Pancakes' Haiku: "Not 'extra-yummy', the cinnamon was too strong. But fluffy, they were." I should've known better than to dump a whole TB of cinnamon into this, as directed, b/c whew, that's all that I tasted. I figured w/ that being the dominant flavor, I'd eat them w/ hunks of apple and a drizzle of syrup, but I couldn't quite shake that overwhelming cinnamon taste. But the title including "fluffy" didn't disappoint - these were thick and filling, but nowhere near as good as the "Fluffy Pancake" recipe on here. Oh and I couldn't bring myself to use additional oil in the skillet, so I just went w/ a heavy squirt of Pam in b/t batches.

It was a great recipe, but my cooking skills ARE a little nonexistent. Thank you! :)

I didn't find these pancakes particularly fluffy. I took others' recommendations to reduce the cinnamon to 2 tsp. and used applesauce instead of oil. I will probably go back to using the "Fluffy Pancakes" recipe which I prefer to this one.

not to impressive eatable but not great will keep looking for another recipe for pancake recipes

These turned out great!! I followed the advice of some reviews and only used about two teaspoons cinnamon. This was my first time making homemade pancakes. I normally just use the batter. I won't be buying any boxed batter anymore!! It's sometimes difficult for me to find vanilla extract (I'm currently living in the Middle East), I wonder how it would be without it?

this was very delicious i cut back the vegetable oil intake though = ] it's a family favorite

My girls loves this recipe!!! They just can't get enough of them and told me "mom these are the best, only make these for now on" Thank you for sharing your recipe :)

good recipe

This is basically our go to pancake recipe. My son LOVES cinnamon, so the amount of cinnamon is perfect for us. I add a touch more vanilla. Other than that this recipe is perfect. Fluffy delicious pancakes every single time.

Mine did not come out very fluffy, but they were still tasty. We only added about 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and even that seemed like a bit much, but it was a nice change from plain pancakes. I probably won't make these exactly the same next time, but I think I will cross this and the other Fluffy Pancakes recipe we use (use buttermilk or soured milk, melted butter instead of oil) next time. I do love that this recipe included vanilla! Surprisingly, many pancake recipes do not, so we always add it as our "secret ingredient" :) All in all, I do recommend trying this one - just use your discretion as far as the amount of cinnamon is concerned!

These were very fluffy. I replaced the oil with canned pumpkin.

It was rather yummy except there was just way to much cinnamon. Oh well though I will make them with less next time. Not very fluffy either but meh still tasted ok.

Best. Pancakes. Ever. These are delicious. I didn't have baking powder so i used baking soda and cut the salt to 1/2 teaspoon, added a little extra sugar and some lemon juice. The five minute rest is very important! I also tried this recipe with chocolate chips, awesome!

This recipe was way to runny to make pancakes!

I have always used the ready made pancake mix and one morning i had run out. I tried this recipe and now i will never go back to mixes! The family could'nt stop raving about how good they were! I cut the cinnamon back to a 1/4 tsp for a double batch but that is all i changed. Best pancakes we've ever had!

Not fluffy at all. Had to add flour to make them fluffy.

This is a good recipe, with one exception (to my palate). The cinnamon! I added much less (about 1/4 tsp) and I still thought it was too much, I can't imagine what the full amount would be like. To be fair, I am not a huge cinnamon fan, and I will probably omit it all together next time. They were indeed very fluffy and worlds above a box mix. I also appreciated the fact that this recipe calls for oil and not melted butter like many recipes do---a little more convenient.

We loved this - today is a cold, snowy Sunday! I added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and served with maple syrup and bacon. Perfect! Will make this often.

We did not use all the cinnamon but otherwise it was good.

I didn't have regular milk on hand so I used sour cream. I've read on different sites that sour cream can be a substitute for buttermilk recipes. I still mixed the sour cream with vinegar. These pancakes came out so moist and fluffy.

I did not like these pancakes

I made these for my family and they absoloutely love them. The kids and my wife told me that they are the best pancakes they have ever had. I cut the amount of cinamon by half though and added a tad bit more vanilla. I love to watch them eat and be happy.

These are very flavorful, moist pancakes. My boys loved them. Like others, I thought a TBSP of cinnamon was a bit much, so I cut it in half. There was still a nice cinnamon flavor, but I think the full amount would have been over-powering.

It was good yet when you adjust it to twelve serving the batter was extremely watery. Add about 2 and a half cups of flower about a cup of sugar a table spoon of baking powder and two table spoons of baking soda. Very sweet and yummy

Less salt and cinnamon next time but theses are delicious and fluffy!

I used 2 tsp of cinnamon instead of the called for 1 tbsp. It was very nice. I will make these again. I have been waiting for a nice recipe like this.

These are SO GOOD! I've tried other pancake recipes to mix things up and I always come back to this one because it is consistently delicious. One change I make to it: I add more flour to make the total 1 2/3C flour. It helps thicken up the batter.

I added an extra bit of vanilla and had to adjust the flour/sugar ratio but it was excellent.

Flavorful, and Easy and best of all my extremely picky daughter LOVED them; I did read through some reviews and only used 2 tsp. of cinnamon instead of 1 tbs. and it was was the perfect amount; I used vanilla soy milk instead of traditional milk and this didn't seem to matter either; The five minute wait noted in the recipe is imp.-can't wait to try these again with apples on top!! This is the FIRST pancake my daughter has ever been happy with, homemade or boxed, this is saying something considering she will be 14 soon! I mean I didn't even have to fish for an opinion or compliment, she just had a bite and said, "Wow, these are good!" Thank You Janice!!

Fluffy & delicious. Followed directions exactly. I got 10 sm/med sized pancakes.

I made these for my brother and I this morning and neither of us cared for them. The initial sight of these made me feel like I was eating some sort of vegan, healthy, flax pancakes and so naturally I was disappointed. This uses way too much cinnamon and overtakes all the flavor, these don't feel "fluffy" when you make them, they feel really cakey.

I followed the recipe with the addition of bananas to half of the batter and blueberries to the other. Everything came out great and plan on making these again.

Easy and yummy! Just what we needed for a Sunday morning brunch.

Did as others suggested and only used 1 tsp of cinnamon and they were incredible!!!

Too much cinnamon! Next time I will only put a teaspoon. I should of read the reviews first. But they were fluffy and I added chocolate chips.

Great recipe my family LOVED IT!! pancakes come out nice and fluffy every time. I totally ditched the box stuff.

I did cut the cinnamon by almost half and we enjoyed the flavor of these pancakes. Since my baking powder was out of date, will have to see if they are a little more fluffy in the future; texture was still nice and light.

Thin and tasteless

These were quite nice, and a bit of a pleasant surprise. I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but it's okay, and I thought 1 T. of it in this small batch of batter would be too much, but it turned out fairly mild, to me. And I don't really care much about "fluffy" pancakes or not, but these did seem to turn out a bit fluffier than other recipes I've tried. I made the recipe exactly as written. I've never used oil on my griddle (it's non-stick, I guess), but I tried it here and it seemed to be superfluous. I did find that it took at least 3 minutes per side for the pancakes to cook long enough. All in all, this is a pretty nice recipe.

i love these so much! soooooo yummy! :)

I did not care for this recipe. The pancakes were not fluffy AT ALL! The pancakes were heavy and wouldn't cook through no matter how long I left them in the pan. Nothing irks me more then following a recipe and it turn out bad

I did not care for this recipe. I had saved the recipe and forgotten to re-read the comments and made it as written. There is a ridiculous amount of cinnamon. Aside from that, they are so brown to begin with it's hard to tell when they're, well, brown.

Lets face it the basic pancake is not a knock your socks off flavor experience. I was attracted to this recipe because it had "real" quantities of cinnamon / vanilla....not the meager 1/2 teaspoon found in most recipes. On the other hand I was concerned about the tablespoon of baking powder..seemed a bit risky. All in all these are nicely flavored pancakes, get a hint of the baking powder, but not a deal breaker. Probably cut back to 3/4 Tbls the next time. Key to texture is to not go beyond the 5 minutes after mixing the dry with the wet. Baking powder reacts very quickly with moisture so waiting any longer will not increase the fluff factor.... just the opposite.

I tried them and they turned out AWESOME! My whole family loved it. Thank you!

I really liked the texture of these pancakes. They were quite fluffy. There was WAY too much cinnamon for our taste though. Next time I will significantly decrease the amount of cinnamon added to the recipe. I'm curious if the full tablespoon is a typo.

very good! I cut the salt to half.

They are light and fluffy. I put fresh peaches which added flavor. I also omitted the cinnamon.

Amazing! Five stars hands down. Even more delish topped with fresh blackberries and pure maple syrup. I did not brush my griddle with vegetable oil but butter, everything else was the same.

Ok guys, I know you gut feeling screams at you to do less cinnamon, but trust the recipe, I followed it to the T and it was THE BEST EVER! NEVER using another recipe again!

Great recipe thank you! My toddler gobbled them up :)

The only things I added were chocolat chips and a little extra vanilla extract. Best choice ever!

These pancakes are so fluffy, soft, and delicious. I taught my children how to make them, they love it. We also make waffles from the same recipes.

I'm sorry to say it, but this recipe was terrible. The batter was way too liquidy and runny. The pancakes that it made were absolutely flat and had way too much cinnamon.

No changes but I probably won't make these again. They weren't fluffy, just as flat as my usual pancakes. Think I'll try a recipe where you separate the egg and see if that makes them fluffy.

Perfect Perfect Perfect! But the only thing I have a question about is the cinnamon. I added the whole tablespoon but I felt like it was too overpowering. But probably the only reason why is because I am not really a cinnamon fan.

Amazing !! best pancakes recipe ever !

It was wonderful

So good perfect recipe. I put food coloring in my second batch so it was a bit watered down. This recipe can be followed to a T as and will be flawless:)

My go to. Hubby and kids love them! We all do.

I made it.... I liked it, but i didn't put the Cinnamon. I added more vanilla flavoring instead. Although - I didn't find them to be "extra" fluffy.

I made it almost exact to the recipe and it did not turn out! the pancakes were super sticky and would not flip. they were not binding together. I managed to get one to stay together to completely cook, but it was harder than a rock! Very disappointed

I was looking for a simple and quick pancake mix for my family of 5. This is it! I had to double the recipe and when I did, I swapped out one cup of white flour for one cup of whole wheat flour (try to add it in where I can) and they rose nicely and where still fluffy with a light taste of cinnamon... my kids loved them! This is definitely a keeper!
