Blueberry Pancake Casserole Oven (Print Version)

Fluffy pancakes, juicy blueberries, and a golden baked finish—all in a comforting breakfast casserole.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 2 cups whole milk
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Blueberry Layer

10 - 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
11 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for tossing berries)

→ Topping

12 - 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
13 - Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
14 - Maple syrup, for serving

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully integrated.
04 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently mix until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing; some small lumps are acceptable.
05 - If desired, toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to minimize sinking during baking.
06 - Gently fold 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
07 - Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Distribute remaining 1/2 cup blueberries on top.
08 - If opted, sprinkle turbinado or granulated sugar evenly over the surface for a crunchy finish.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven for 38–42 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
10 - Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve with maple syrup.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It feels like pancakes, but baked into a single warm dish so everyone gets a fluffy corner.
  • The blueberries burst and meld with the batter in ways a griddle never allows, making each bite juicy and golden.
02 -
  • The one time I rushed and overmixed, the casserole turned chewy instead of fluffy.
  • Tossing the blueberries with flour made the layers even and stopped the fruit from pooling at the bottom.
03 -
  • The magic happens when you don't overmix—just a few folds ensures cloud-like pancakes.
  • Using fresh blueberries whenever possible brings out the best juicy pockets in every slice.
