These pancakes combine the delightful flavors of cinnamon rolls with the ease of pancakes, perfect for a cozy breakfast.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk, egg, and melted butter until just combined.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
In another bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a zip-top bag and set aside.
If the filling becomes too firm, microwave it for a few seconds to soften.
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Set aside.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth glaze.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Pour a portion of the pancake batter onto the skillet. Snip a corner of the zip-top bag and pipe a swirl of cinnamon filling onto the batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Use a wide spatula to flip the pancakes gently.
Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm pancakes before serving.
Warm the glaze slightly for easier drizzling.
