Indulge in the ultimate breakfast treat with these Swirled Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Fluffy pancakes are filled with a sweet cinnamon-sugar swirl, creating the perfect combination of pancakes and cinnamon rolls in every bite.
In a medium bowl, combine the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
2
Scoop the cinnamon filling into a quart-sized heavy-duty ziplock bag and set aside.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4
Add the milk, egg, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, whisking until just moistened to form the pancake batter.
5
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
6
Use an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the heated skillet, forming a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
7
Reduce heat to medium-low and allow the pancake to cook until bubbles form on the surface.
8
Snip a small corner off the ziplock bag containing the cinnamon filling, and starting from the center of the pancake, gently squeeze the filling onto the pancake in a circular pattern.
9
Cook the pancake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip it over.
10
Continue to cook the pancake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the second side is also golden brown.
11
Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter and cinnamon filling.
12
In another medium bowl, whisk together the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze.
13
Serve the Swirled Cinnamon Roll Pancakes warm, topped with a generous drizzle of the cream cheese glaze.
