- Pancake Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blueberry Layer
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for tossing berries, optional)
- Topping
- 2 tbsp turbinado sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
- 5. If desired, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking.
- 6. Gently fold 1½ cups of the blueberries into the batter.
- 7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of blueberries over the top.
- 8. If using, sprinkle turbinado or granulated sugar evenly over the casserole for a crunchy topping.
- 9. Bake for 38–42 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- 10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, slicing, and serving with maple syrup.
