In the mood: Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

Pancakes are something I enjoy making. They can be a dessert, snack, meal.  These Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes really satisfies that sweet tooth and doesn't have all the calories of an actual piece of Cheesecake.


2 cps of Pancake mix 
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 eggs
CREAM CHEESE GLAZE:
4 Tablespoons butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1. Slice the cream cheese lengthwise into four pieces. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; cover and freeze 8 hours or overnight.
2 Brush griddle or skillet with vegetable oil, or spray with cooking spray; heat griddle to 375°F or heat skillet over medium heat.
3 Cut cream cheese into bite-size pieces; set aside. In large bowl, stir pancake mix, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, milk and eggs with whisk or fork until blended. Stir in cream cheese.
4 For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/3 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown.
5 Top pancakes with glaze mixture and strawberries. Or you can use strawberry syrup.

I was inspired by Spring 2010 winner on bettycrocker.com.  I adapted the recipe.

If your mornings are like mine your always looking for quick and easy breakfast.
