Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment needed: Non-stick oven-safe skillet, large mixing bowl, whisk, squeeze bottle (or a piping bag)

The brown sugar and cinnamon are crucial here as it’s what creates that incredible cinnamon swirl. The all-purpose flour is our base and the eggs, milk, and melted butter work together to give the pancake its light and fluffy texture.

If you have issues with dairy, unsweetened almond milk can work as a substitute for milk and the butter can be swapped with coconut oil. Also, if you’re going for gluten-free, use an appropriate flour.

How To Make Cinnamon Swirl Oven Pancake

1. First things first, preheat your oven to 425��F (220��C). In your large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, half of the brown sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and half of the melted butter. Make sure the ingredients are well blended together and your batter is nice and smooth.
2. Take the remaining brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon, and whisk them together in another bowl. Transfer this mixture to a squeeze bottle or a piping bag for easy handling.
3. Moving on to the skillet, pour your pancake batter into it and smooth out the top. Now comes the fun part! Create a cinnamon swirl design on top of the batter using the cinnamon mixture we put in advance in the squeeze bottle!
4. Bake the pancake for about 20 minutes until it becomes golden brown. That’s it! You’re all set! Slice your pan-baked beauty and enjoy warm. Cheers to good times!
