Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix. Set aside to rest while you prepare the swirl and glaze.
- Cinnamon Swirl: Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour into a zip-top bag or piping bag and set aside.
- Cream Cheese Glaze: Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Snip the tip off the cinnamon swirl bag and pipe a spiral over the batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes. Wipe skillet between batches if needed.
- Serve pancakes warm, drizzled with cream cheese glaze.
Notes
- Let the cinnamon swirl cool slightly before piping to prevent it from spreading too thin.
- You can double the swirl and glaze for extra indulgence.
- These pancakes freeze well for a quick future breakfast.
