A fun and family-friendly breakfast casserole combining fluffy pancakes, maple flavor, and a baked custard for an easy make-ahead meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 prepared pancakes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup blueberries or chocolate chips (optional)
For Serving
- Powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish evenly to prevent sticking.
- Arrange pancakes: Cut the prepared pancakes into bite-sized pieces and distribute them evenly in the greased baking dish.
- Mix custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
- Pour custard: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pancakes in the baking dish.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle blueberries or chocolate chips on top if desired to add extra flavor and texture.
- Let stand: Allow the casserole to sit for 10 minutes so the pancakes can absorb the custard mixture, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes until the casserole is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove from oven, let it cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm. Optionally, serve with additional maple syrup and fresh fruit for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Great for using leftover pancakes to create a delicious new meal.
- Serve with additional maple syrup and fresh fruit to enhance taste.
