Description

This pancake casserole recipe is a delightful twist on your classic pancakes. It combines all the flavors of fluffy pancakes in a simple-to-make casserole. It’s perfect for breakfast or brunch and easy to prep ahead!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of pancake mix – This is the base of your casserole. It provides the perfect fluffy texture that you know and love from pancakes!
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk – Milk helps to make the batter nice and creamy. It adds that rich texture to the casserole that makes it irresistible!
  • 2 eggs – Eggs help to bind everything together and add a soft, moist texture to the casserole. They’re also a great source of protein!
  • 1/2 cup of butter, melted – Butter makes everything taste better! It adds a rich flavor and makes the casserole golden and delicious when baked.
  • 1/2 cup of sugar – For that sweet pancake flavor. It balances the richness of the butter and gives your casserole a lovely sweetness.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Vanilla extract adds depth and warmth to the dish. It gives the casserole a comforting, homey flavor.
  • 1 cup of fresh fruit (like blueberries or strawberries) – This adds a burst of freshness and color to your casserole. Plus, fruit pairs perfectly with pancakes!
  • 1/2 cup of maple syrup – What’s a pancake without syrup? This adds a touch of sweetness and maple flavor, making each bite extra special.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) – This helps the casserole bake evenly and get nice and golden. It’s an important step, so don’t skip it!
  • Grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray – This keeps the casserole from sticking to the pan. Plus, it adds an extra touch of buttery flavor!
  • Mix the pancake batter – In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish – Make sure the batter spreads evenly across the bottom. This gives you that perfect casserole texture in every bite.
  • Add your fresh fruit on top – Sprinkle the fruit over the batter. It adds both color and flavor, and it’ll bake up beautifully in the casserole.
