Ingredients
  

For the pancake batter

  • 1 cup 1 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour Structure
  • 1 ¼ cups 1 ¼ cup milk (regular or plant-based) Moisture
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons maple syrup Sweetness
  • 3 teaspoons 3 teaspoons baking powder Leavening agent
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Flavor
  • 3 teaspoons 3 teaspoons cinnamon Spice flavor
  • 4 tablespoons 4 tablespoons softened butter Regular or plant-based, richness
  • ½ cup ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar Sweetness and moisture

For the cream cheese icing

  • ½ cup ½ cup powdered sugar For icing, sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons melted butter Regular or plant-based, richness
  • 2 oz 2 oz cream cheese Regular or plant-based, creaminess

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and maple syrup. Whisk until thoroughly combined and ensure no lumps remain.
  • Add the baking powder and vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Whisk until evenly distributed; the batter should begin to bubble slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Fold in the softened butter gently until just incorporated.

Cooking

  • Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease the surface.
  • Pour a scoop of batter (about ¼ cup) onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While pancakes are cooking, prepare the cream cheese icing by mixing together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with cream cheese icing before serving.

Notes

These pancakes are great served with fresh fruit, nuts, or additional maple syrup. Ensure to use softened butter in the batter for best results.
