Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze

It's winter time, right?! So WHERE are the blizzards instead of all the spring like weather?! You know when I am stuck in my house and cannot get out - and the only things which make sense for me to do is try new recipes, cuddle up by the fire place and read a book, watch movies, do puzzles, and browse the internet?!?! YESSSSSS! I WANT SOME SNOW!!! 



This just is NOT enough. 

I found the most perfect recipe to make for a snowy morning at My Thirty Spot . Maybe I will just make them one Sunday morning. (I definitely won't count calories this day!)



Pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Cinnamon Filling
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze
4 Tablespoons butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
1. Prepare pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk in milk, oil and egg, just until batter is moistened (a few small lumps are fine).

2. In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a small zip baggie and set aside. You don't want this to remain super-liquidy. It's best if it becomes a consistency similar to toothpaste.

3. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl- heat butter and cream cheese until melted. Whisk together until smooth; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract; set aside.

4. Heat large skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick spray. Scoop about 3/4 cup batter onto the skillet. Snip the corner of your baggie of filling and squeeze a spiral of the filling onto the top of the pancake. When bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.

5. When ready to serve, spoon warmed glaze onto the top of each pancake.
