# How-To Steps:
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 fully combined and smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
05 - Pour pancake batter evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading to reach all corners.
06 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, stirring until well blended.
07 - Transfer cinnamon mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe swirls or zig-zags across the pancake batter surface.
08 - Using a knife or skewer, gently drag through the cinnamon mixture to create swirled patterns 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.
10 - While the casserole bakes, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth and pourable. Add additional milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
11 - Remove casserole from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle cream cheese glaze over the warm casserole.
12 - Slice into portions and serve warm, optionally topped with fresh berries or chopped pecans.
