Ingredients

Cinnamon Streusel

  • 3/4 cup yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup instant oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons butter

Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • salt pinch

Instructions

Cinnamon Streusel

  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Crumble together with your hands or a fork, or pastry blender until you have a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

Pancake Batter

  • Heat a griddle over medium heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, and a dash of salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk together buttermilk, milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla in a small bowl until foamy. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over mix, batter will be slightly lumpy. 
  • In a small bowl, remove a 1/2 cup of the pancake batter and mix in maple syrup and cinnamon. Stir until well combined and set aside.
  • Coat the heated griddle with butter or cooking spray. Drop batter by 1/2 cup and dabble about 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of the maple cinnamon batter on top. Crumble a pinch or two of the streusel on top and swirl into the batter using the end of a spoon.
  • Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip over and cover generously with streusel. Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and the topping begins to melt.
  • I like to cover the pancake at this point with a cereal bowl to allow the butter to melt in the streusel topping for a crispy top but this is optional. 
  • Repeat the process to make the rest of the pancakes and serve with butter. Enjoy!
