Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp butter, melted

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

• ¼ cup butter, melted
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2-4 tbsp milk (to thin the glaze)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer the mixture to a ziplock bag and snip a small corner to use as a piping bag.

2. Make the Pancake Batter:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• Add the milk, egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

3. Cook the Pancakes:

• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
• Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet.
• Once the pancake begins to set (after about 1-2 minutes), pipe a swirl of the cinnamon mixture onto the pancake.
• Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.

4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
• Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.

5. Serve:

• Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm pancakes and serve immediately.
