Follow The Directions

01

Step

Tear the pancakes into quarters and place them in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Transfer the pancake mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese frosting and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Mix until well combined and a consistent dough forms. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Using a cookie scoop, portion out 1-inch balls of the pancake dough. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. (30 minutes)

04

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if needed to achieve a smooth, glaze-like texture. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the prepared glaze. Insert the stick about halfway into the center of a chilled pancake ball. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully dip the pancake ball into the powdered sugar glaze, using a spoon to help drizzle the glaze evenly over the sides and bottom. (2 minutes per pop)

07

Step

Skewer the bottom of the lollipop sticks into a styrofoam base, ensuring the cake pops stand upright. This allows any excess glaze to drip off, creating a clean finish. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Crumble the bacon and adhere it to the top of the pops immediately after glazing.

For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter cream cheese frosting.
If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of powdered sugar.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or chocolate shavings.
The timing of the refrigeration step is important to allow the pops to maintain their shape

    I found that freezing the pancake balls for a bit longer helped them hold their shape better when dipping.

  • Nedra Rodriguez

    The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might reduce the powdered sugar next time.
