Delicious and fluffy pancakes with a gooey cinnamon-sugar swirl, reminiscent of cinnamon rolls, topped with a rich cream cheese glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Flour (can use gluten-free flour blend)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Milk (any non-dairy milk works well)
  • 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter (for the cinnamon-sugar swirl)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat the egg with milk, vegetable oil, and melted butter until combined. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; add melted butter to form a paste.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle; add a teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture in the center and swirl.
  7. Cook until bubbles form, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes until golden.
  8. Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth for the glaze.
  9. Stack pancakes and drizzle with cream cheese glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure your baking powder is fresh for best results. Adjust the glaze sweetness as per taste.
