Here’s what you’ll need to bring a bit of that cinnamon magic into your kitchen:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk (feel free to use almond or oat milk as a substitute)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

My mom, with her knack for magic in the kitchen, could turn even the most basic ingredients into something extraordinary, and this recipe follows suit. If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t sweat it—substitutions are part of the fun!
Instructions
Let’s dive into the process of creating these heavenly pancakes:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Once bubbles start to form on the surface, swirl in a tablespoon of the cinnamon mixture.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm pancakes and serve immediately.
A little tip from my kitchen to yours: don’t worry if the first pancake doesn’t turn out perfect—it’s often the case in our house, and it just means the pan is getting to the right temperature!
