Cinnamon Filling
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Glaze
Beat together the cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Set aside.
Pancakes
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to large mixing bowl and whisk together.
Add the egg, milk and oil to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Heat the griddle and spray it with cooking spray.
Scoop the pancake batter onto the hot griddle, immediately swirl the cinnamon filling onto each pancake.
Cook 4-5 minutes or until the top is bubbly and they are golden brown on the bottom.
Flip and cook on other side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm while repeating with the remaining pancake batter.
When all of the pancakes are done, assemble them by stacking 2-3 pancakes, then spoon or drizzle the tops with the glaze.
Serve immediately.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
Clear Vanilla Extract - using clear is best if you want the glaze to be white. You can also use regular vanilla extract.
