Get ready for a delightful breakfast treat! These fluffy Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are swirled with cinnamon goodness and topped with cream cheese glaze. 😍🥞✨
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
First, let's whip up the Cinnamon Filling! In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until blended perfectly. Scoop this delicious filling into a small zip bag and set it aside for a moment.
Now, for the pancake batter! Grab another medium bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add in the milk, canola oil, and the lightly beaten egg. Mix until just moistened—don’t overdo it! If you’re going for a boxed mix, feel free to follow the package directions instead.
Next up, let’s prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze! In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Heat them together until melted and give it a good whisk until smooth. Then, stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Set this heavenly glaze aside for later.
Time to cook those pancakes! Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 1/2 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet, then snip the corner of your cinnamon filling baggie and squeeze a beautiful spiral of that cinnamon goodness right on top.
Keep an eye on those pancakes! When you start to see bubbles forming on the surface, it's time to flip them over with a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until they’re lightly browned on the other side. Once cooked, transfer each pancake to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you repeat with the rest of the batter.
Finally, when you’re ready to serve, generously drizzle the warm cream cheese glaze over each pancake and prepare for a breakfast celebration!
