Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet, drizzle cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, and swirl gently.

Notes

For a Halal-friendly alternative, substitute the egg with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed mixture. Ensure your skillet temperature is right for perfect pancakes. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.
