Cinnamon Roll Pancakes Cream Glaze (Print-Friendly Version)

Fluffy cinnamon-swirled pancakes topped with smooth cream cheese glaze, perfect for cozy mornings.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 155 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
04 - 240 millilitres milk, plus more if needed
05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
06 - 1 large egg, beaten
07 - Optional: prepared pancake mix, such as Bisquick, prepared per package instructions

→ Cinnamon Filling

08 - 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
09 - 135 grams packed light brown sugar
10 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

→ Cream Cheese Glaze

11 - 55 grams unsalted butter
12 - 57 grams cream cheese
13 - 150 grams powdered sugar
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How to Prepare:

01 - Combine melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Transfer mixture to a small piping bag or zip-lock bag and set aside to thicken slightly for 10–15 minutes.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, vegetable oil, and beaten egg, mixing until just moistened; a few lumps are acceptable. If batter appears too thick, stir in a small amount of additional milk. Alternatively, prepare pancake batter from mix as instructed on packaging.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until glaze is smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
04 - Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low heat and apply a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray. Pour approximately 120 millilitres of pancake batter onto the heated surface. Snip a small corner off the cinnamon filling bag and pipe a spiral onto each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, carefully flip, and continue cooking 1–2 minutes until golden underneath. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking tray and keep warm.
05 - Drizzle warmed cream cheese glaze over each pancake before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Allow the cinnamon filling to thicken before using to prevent it from spreading excessively during cooking.
02 - Warming the glaze gently before serving ensures a smooth, pourable consistency.
