Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancake Batter:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  2. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:

    • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
    • Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or squeeze bottle for easy swirling.

  3. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat and grease with butter or cooking spray.
    • Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
    • Once small bubbles form on the surface, pipe a cinnamon swirl onto each pancake, starting from the center and spiraling outward.

  4. Flip and Cook Until Golden:

    • Flip the pancakes after 2-3 minutes and cook for another minute until golden brown.

  5. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:

    • In a bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Drizzle the warm pancakes with the cream cheese glaze.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon-infused goodness!

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the brown sugar in the swirl.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, use a Ziploc bag with the tip cut off for the swirl.
