Fluffy Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Print Recipe

Delightful twist on pancakes featuring a rich cinnamon swirl and tangy 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: Mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg and combine it with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; don’t worry if it’s a bit lumpy.
  4. Heat Your Skillet or Griddle: Preheat your skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter into the skillet for each pancake. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top and gently swirl it into the batter.
  6. Flip When Bubbly: Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. 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: Drizzle the warm pancakes with the cream cheese glaze and enjoy!
