Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 1/4 cup milk (regular or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp softened butter (regular or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (regular or plant-based)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (regular or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, maple syrup, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Add the flour and stir gently until a smooth pancake batter forms, avoiding overmixing.
  2. Make Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a smaller bowl, mix together the cinnamon, softened butter, and sugar until fully incorporated. Transfer this mixture into a pastry bag and set aside for later use.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting: Combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside. Alternatively, you can use maple syrup as a topping.
  4. Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter. When the butter begins to sizzle, it’s ready for the pancakes.
  5. Cook Pancakes with Cinnamon Swirl: Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of pancake batter onto the skillet. Quickly cut the tip off the pastry bag and draw a spiral of the cinnamon swirl mixture in the center of each pancake, holding the tip upright to control the flow and prevent dripping.
  6. Seal the Swirl: Drizzle an additional 1-2 tablespoons of pancake batter on top of the cinnamon swirl to cover it, which helps prevent burning during cooking.
  7. Flip and Finish Cooking: Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip them and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the pancakes with cream cheese frosting or maple syrup. If the frosting is too thick to drizzle, microwave it for 15 seconds to loosen before serving.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk, butter, and cream cheese alternatives to make this recipe vegan.
  • For gluten-free pancakes, substitute with gluten free all-purpose flour.
  • If you prefer sweeter pancakes, add a little extra maple syrup to the batter.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pancakes to keep them fluffy.
  • Reheat leftover pancakes in the microwave or toaster for a quick breakfast.
