# What You'll Need:
→ Pancake Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Cinnamon Swirl
10 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
11 - 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
12 - 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
→ Cream Cheese Glaze
13 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
14 - 1 cup powdered sugar
15 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
16 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
17 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
04 - Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb structure.
05 - Pour the pancake batter evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring uniform coverage.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
07 - Transfer the cinnamon mixture to a piping bag or zip-top plastic bag with the corner trimmed. Pipe swirls or zig-zag patterns evenly across the batter surface.
08 - Using a knife or wooden skewer, gently drag through the cinnamon swirls to create a marbled, swirled pattern throughout the batter.
09 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with minimal moist crumbs.
10 - While the casserole bakes, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and pourable. Add additional milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
11 - Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze evenly across the warm casserole.
12 - Cut into individual portions and serve while still warm.
