Ingredients

Scale

Main Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan version)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (or dairy-free butter/coconut oil)

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Sweet Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (or almond/oat milk)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring just until the batter is smooth and slightly thick but well blended. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. This mixture will create the signature swirl that brings the cinnamon roll flavor inside each pancake.
  3. Cook the Pancakes with the Swirl: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about a quarter cup of batter to form a pancake. Immediately sprinkle a teaspoon or two of the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the pancake and use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the sugar into the batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  4. Prepare the Sweet Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and just enough milk to create a smooth, pourable glaze. Drizzle the glaze generously over warm pancakes for that luscious finishing touch.
  5. Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes, drizzle with glaze, and enjoy immediately to savor the gooey cinnamon swirls and fluffy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter blend smoothly for fluffy pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning the cinnamon sugar.
  • Swirl the cinnamon sugar gently to keep pretty cinnamon patterns without spreading too thin.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a low oven while finishing the rest.
