Cinnamon swirl pancakes are a delicious twist on traditional pancakes, featuring a sweet and aromatic cinnamon filling. Here's a basic recipe to make cinnamon swirl pancakes:

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup brown sugar

For the cinnamon swirl:

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the cinnamon swirl.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
7. Quickly sprinkle about a teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture onto each pancake.
8. Top each pancake with an additional 2 tablespoons of batter to cover the cinnamon swirl.
9. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
10. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.
11. Serve the cinnamon swirl pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
