Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the cinnamon swirl:
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• For the cream cheese glaze:
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. To make the cinnamon swirl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Transfer the mixture to a squeeze bottle or a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet. Squeeze the cinnamon swirl mixture onto the pancake batter in a spiral pattern. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.
7. For the cream cheese glaze, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm pancakes and sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar on top, if desired.

Helpful Tips

To ensure perfectly swirled pancakes, don’t rush flipping them. Let the bubbles form and the edges set before you turn them over. If you don’t have a squeeze bottle, a plastic sandwich bag with a small cut corner works just as well for the cinnamon swirl mixture.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them by placing parchment paper between each pancake and sealing them in a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you’re out of cream cheese, a simple powdered sugar glaze made with powdered sugar and milk can be used instead. Almond milk or oat milk are great substitutes for cow’s milk.

Pairings

Pair these delightful cinnamon roll pancakes with a steaming cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Fresh fruit or a side of scrambled eggs could round out this indulgent breakfast.
