  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cup milk (regular or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (regular or gluten free)
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp softened butter (regular or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (regular or plant-based)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (regular or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Slowly add the flour and cinnamon, stirring until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  3. In another small bowl, mix softened butter with brown sugar and a little cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with a bit of butter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet.
  6. Swirl 1-2 teaspoons of the cinnamon filling on top of the pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Repeat until all the batter is used.
  9. For the cream cheese icing, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, and cream cheese together until smooth. Thin with a little milk if needed.

Notes

For best results, do not over-mix the batter and keep the skillet at a medium heat. Serve warm with icing and fresh fruits or nuts.
