Ingredients

Pancakes

• 1 1/2 cups flour (you can use gluten-free flour)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups milk or nut milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Cinnamon Glaze

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

• finely chopped pecans
• 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.
