Instructions

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, 2 tbsp oil, and 2 tbsp melted butter.
Pour wet mix into dry mix and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and grease lightly.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the pan.
Drop a small spoon of the cinnamon sugar mix on the pancake center.
Swirl the cinnamon mix gently into the batter with the back of the spoon.
Cook until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook the other side.

Drizzle or spread the cream cheese glaze on warm pancakes.
