Deliciously fluffy pancakes infused with a sweet cinnamon swirl and topped with a cream cheese glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (for cinnamon swirl)
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat Your Skillet: Preheat over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of each pancake and swirl it in.
  6. Flip When Bubbly: Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form; flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm, drizzled with cream cheese glaze.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. For a dairy-free option, use almond milk instead of regular milk.
