In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Pour about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges start to set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 flatcakes.
In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter and honey. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for an additional 2 minutes until slightly soft. Stir in the shredded chicken or beef and cook until heated through.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of the peanut butter-honey mixture over each flatcake. Top with the savory mixture of onions, tomatoes, and meat.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh coriander if desired.
