To make Cinnabon pancakes like IHOP, follow these simple steps. First, prepare the cinnamon filling. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Scoop the mixture into a small zip baggie and set it aside.
Next, prepare the pancake batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, oil, and a beaten egg, mixing until just combined.
For the cream cheese glaze, heat butter and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl until melted. Whisk until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over low heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 1/2 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Snip the corner of the cinnamon filling baggie and squeeze a spiral onto the pancake. When bubbles appear, flip the pancake and cook until lightly browned. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven while you make the rest.
Finally, spoon the warm cream cheese glaze over each pancake before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cinnabon pancakes just like at IHOP!
