Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Step 1

Prepare the cinnamon mixture in a small bowl. Mix together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Then place in a small zip top bag (with the top 1/4" snipped off) or piping bag.

Step 2

Combine the cream cheese and butter in a small bowl. Melt in the microwave for 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar. Add a Tablespoon of milk if needed to thin out or more powdered sugar to thicken.

Step 3

Preheat a griddle to 325°F, or a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the microwave and set aside to cool for 3 minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then add in the milk and butter and stir just until combined. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla, just until most the lumps are gone and the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Coat the griddle (or skillet) with butter and then pour 1/4 cup batter onto the heated griddle. Take the cinnamon sugar filling and make a swirl on top of the pancake. Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 1 minute, or just until lightly browned.

Step 6

Serve with the cinnamon swirl facing up. Then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over top.
