Recipe Notes

• You could make them gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. 

• If you don't want to make the cinnamon glaze, top the pancakes with pancake syrup, maple syrup, honey or whipped cream.

Here's how to make it: 

1. To make the cinnamon glaze, microwave the cream cheese for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Add the butter, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Mix well to combine. (If you want a thinner glaze, add a little milk.)
2. To make the pancakes, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Whisk together.
3. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, butter and vanilla.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
5. Melt a little butter in a skillet. Add the pancake batter, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form, then flip and cook until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. 
6. To serve, stack the pancakes and spread with the cinnamon glaze. Top with the chopped pecans and whipped cream, if desired.
