Fluffy cinnamon swirl pancakes topped with creamy cream cheese glaze make the perfect breakfast treat for any morning.

Ingredients

Scale

For the pancakes:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup milk (add a bit more if batter is too thick)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 large egg, beaten

For the cinnamon filling:

  • ⅓ cup butter, melted

  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the cream cheese glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 2 ounces cream cheese

  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make the cinnamon filling by combining melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Transfer the mixture to a small resealable plastic bag and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes to thicken slightly.

  • Prepare the pancake batter by whisking flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, vegetable oil, and beaten egg just until combined. Some lumps are okay.

  • For the glaze, melt butter and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Set aside.

  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over low heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the surface.

  • Snip a small corner off the cinnamon filling bag and pipe a spiral of the filling onto the pancake batter.

  • When bubbles form on the pancake’s surface, carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven.

  • Repeat with remaining batter and filling.

 

  • Serve pancakes topped with warm cream cheese glaze.
