If you’re thinking about cooking dad breakfast or brunch for Father’s Day check out this week’s recipe! Baked Pancake Casserole is an easy alternative to making pancakes and less time consuming. This casserole can be baking while you’re cooking his favorite breakfast meat.

Baked Pancake Casserole

2 cups flour

3 tbsp. sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups milk (almond milk works well too)

3 tbsp. butter, melted

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/4 cups blueberries (optional) or

1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set aside. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a large bowl whisk together, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Next stir the flour mixture into the milk mixture, just until combined.  Pour batter into greased baking dish. (If adding blueberries or chocolate chips do so right before pouring into the baking dish.) Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are slightly browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool for a few minutes before cutting them into squares. Serve with dad’s favorites like fresh fruit, whipped topping, peanut butter and jelly, favorite syrup, etc. Possibilities are endless! Have a wonderful and Happy Father’s Day!
