Looking for a wholesome, easy-to-make breakfast that feels like a treat? This Baked Pancake is the answer!

It’s mildly sweet, perfect for pairing with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey, making it versatile and nutritious.

Three pieces of the baked pancake on a white plate with some blueberries

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Fruit for topping

Instructions:

  1. Blend the Batter:
    • In a blender, combine the bananas, milk, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
    • Grease a 9×13 baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the blended batter into the prepared dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle fruit throughout (blueberry and strawberry are my favorite.) Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the breakfast cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve plain, or top with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a little nut butter for added flavor and nutrition.

Why Baked Pancake is Great for Toddlers and Families:

  1. Nutritious Start:
    • Bananas provide natural sweetness and potassium, while milk and eggs add protein and calcium, making this breakfast balanced and energizing.
  2. Soft and Easy to Eat:
    • The cake’s fluffy texture is perfect for toddlers developing their chewing skills.
  3. Customizable:
    • Add mix-ins like blueberries, diced apples, or chocolate chips to make it extra special.
  4. One-Bowl Wonder:
    • Blending everything in one go makes for a quick prep and easy cleanup—ideal for busy mornings.
  5. Family-Friendly:
    • Adults and kids alike can enjoy this breakfast cake, so no need to cook separate meals.

Storage Instructions

  • Refrigerator:
    Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
  • Freezer:
    Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap or store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or pop a slice in the microwave for a quick reheat.

  1. Try pancakes for 7 children and yourself. I did it in a roasting pan over 2 burners. Then put them in oven to keep warm. First batch would be 12 and then 2nd batch. Serve with butter and maple syrup with confectionery sugar sprinkled and 3rd batch was cooking ,served and hopefully last batch was in the process. Usually with large glasses of milk OR COCOA . Really great family breakfast accompanied with BACON. Large family to cook for. Mealtime was busy with everyone talking and laughing. Great memories 👌
