๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients

๐Ÿฅž For the Pancakes:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter or oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

๐Ÿฅ For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

๐Ÿฏ Optional Cream Cheese Glaze (like cinnamon rolls):

  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

๐Ÿณ Instructions

1. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Pour into a piping bag or ziplock bag (snip the tip for swirling).

2. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients — mix until just combined (don’t overmix).

3. Cook the Pancakes:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
  • Once bubbles start to form, swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter using a spiral motion.
  • Cook 1–2 more minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.

4. Make Optional Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • Beat all glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm pancakes.

5. Serve:

  • Stack pancakes high, drizzle with glaze or maple syrup, and enjoy warm!

๐ŸงŠ Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge
  • Freeze for up to 1 month (use parchment paper between layers)
  • Reheat in microwave or toaster oven until warm

๐Ÿง  Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking
  • Use low-medium heat to avoid burning the sugar swirl
  • Snip a small hole in the piping bag — a little swirl goes a long way
  • Don’t overfill the swirl or it may ooze out
  • Want more indulgence? Top with whipped cream, bananas, or pecans

๐Ÿ”„ Variations

  • Gluten-Free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour
  • Vegan: Use plant milk, vegan butter, and a flax egg
  • Apple Cinnamon: Add finely diced apples to the batter
  • Protein Boost: Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder

๐Ÿ™‹ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the cinnamon swirl ahead of time?
Yes! Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm slightly before using so it’s easy to pipe.

What’s the best skillet for these?
A non-stick skillet or electric griddle works best to prevent sticking and help the swirl caramelize nicely.

Can I skip the glaze?
Absolutely — these are delicious with just butter and maple syrup, too!
