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.
