Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a ziplock bag and let thicken for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and beaten egg until just incorporated.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and melted butter. Heat in short intervals, stirring until warm and creamy. Blend in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour about ½ cup of batter into the skillet, pipe cinnamon filling into spirals. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  5. Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle with cream cheese glaze, and add powdered sugar or nuts if desired.
