Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pancake Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Casserole:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to thaw frozen)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing—it’s okay if there are small lumps.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
- Pour the pancake batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Scatter the blueberries evenly over the top.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey and sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Either works well, but fresh blueberries give a slightly better texture.
- Make It Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
- Enhance the Flavor: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
