In a bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well blended. Transfer this mixture to a zip bag and set it aside for later use.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing well. Create a well in the center and add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
To prepare the glaze, microwave the cream cheese and butter until melted, stirring until smooth. Then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla until you get a creamy consistency.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour ⅓ to ½ cup of the pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake. Snip the corner of the cinnamon filling bag and swirl the cinnamon mixture on top. Cook until the edges are defined, then flip and brown the other side.
Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle the warm cream cheese glaze on top before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes!
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter, use a non-stick pan, check cooking temperature, keep pancakes warm while cooking in batches, and prepare the filling and batter the night before for convenience.
Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, different syrups, or a nutty crunch on top.
