**How To Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes**
### Ingredients:
***For the Pancakes:***
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 tbsp granulated sugar
* 2 tsp baking powder
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 cup milk
* 1 large egg
* 2 tbsp melted butter
***For the Cinnamon Swirl:***
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
***For the Cream Cheese Glaze:***
* 2 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1/4 cup powdered sugar
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 2 tbsp milk
### Directions:
Follow these simple steps to cook up a tempting stack of Cinnamon Roll Pancakes:
1. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into a small plastic bag for later use.
2. Next, make the Pancake Batter by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter in a separate bowl. Combine the dry and wet ingredients.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet and coat with non-stick spray or butter. Now, pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter on to the skillet. Use the pre-prepared bag of cinnamon swirl, cut a small hole in the corner, and pipe a spiral on to the pancake.
4. Wait until bubbles form and then flip the pancake. Cook until golden and keep warm.
5. Finally, prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze by whisking together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.
**How to Serve Cinnamon Roll Pancakes**
Serve these pancakes warm, topped with a generous drizzle of cream cheese glaze. For added texture, you can also sprinkle some chopped nuts or add fresh fruits like blueberries or strawberries on top.
**How to Store Cinnamon Roll Pancakes**
Refrigerate your leftover pancakes in an air-tight container. They should stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, simply microwave them or pop them in the oven on low heat until they are warmed through.
**Tips to Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes**
1. Do not overmix the batter as it can make your pancakes tough instead of fluffy.
2. Control the heat during cooking as pancakes can burn quickly. If the pan gets too hot, remove it from the heat for a few minutes before continuing.
3. If you’re having trouble flipping the pancakes, try making smaller ones. They are easier to handle.
**Variation**
For a spicy twist to your pancakes, add a pinch of nutmeg to your cinnamon filling.
