Instructions

Prepare Cinnamon Filling: Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Place in a zip-top bag and snip a small corner.
Make Cream Cheese Glaze: Blend cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well. Thin with milk if needed.
Make Pancake Batter: In one bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In another, whisk milk, egg, and oil. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until blended.
Cook Pancakes: Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Pour ½ cup of batter. When bubbles form, pipe a cinnamon swirl. Flip carefully and cook until golden.
Serve: Stack pancakes and drizzle with cream cheese glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

Swap in whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
Make it vegan using plant-based milk, egg substitutes, and dairy-free cream cheese.
Add nuts like pecans or walnuts to the filling for crunch.
For extra flavor, stir a pinch of nutmeg into the batter.
Top with fruit like berries or bananas for a fresh twist
