Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

from ButterYum

makes eight 4-inch pancakes

Cinnamon Filling:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Creamy Glaze:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder, sifted

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 cup milk

1 large egg, beaten

1 tablespoon canola oil

To make the cinnamon filling:

Combine ingredients and place in a heavy zip-top bag. Set aside until needed.

To make the creamy drizzle:

Gently melt butter and whisk in cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Place in a heavy zip-top bag. Set aside until needed.

To make the pancake batter:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add milk, egg, and oil; whisk just until combined (don't over whisk - a few lumps in the batter are okay).

To make the pancakes:

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Scoop 1/3 cup batter per pancake into hot skillet (each pancake will be about 4-inches in diameter). Reduce heat to low. Snip a tiny hole in the corner of the cinnamon filling bag. When the pancake begins to form bubbles, squeeze cinnamon filling in a swirl pattern starting in the center , being careful not to get the filling too close to the edges of the pancake; cook 2-3 minutes, or until it's time to flip the pancakes over and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Wipe pan clean between batches. Serve pancakes with creamy drizzle.
