Apple Pie Pancake Casserole

Combine the flavors of apple pie, apple crisp and buttermilk pancakes into a delicious breakfast casserole that serves a crowd.

We love pancakes in my house. Pancakes made with granola, chocolate chips or blueberries. Any which way you flip them, we are a fan.

But if you’re cooking for a crowd you need an easier solution than standing at the stove constantly flipping.

That’s where my pancake bake comes into play. Make the mix as you normally would and get creative with the filling.

For this breakfast casserole, I added puréed apple pie filling to the mix, tossed chunks of sweet juicy apples on top and sprinkled plenty of cinnamon oat streusel topping to finish things off.

This recipe makes one casserole. Double the recipe and no apple pie filling will go to waste and you will have enough to feed a crowd. And it’s a good thing, because it will disappear quickly.  If you make one you’ll wish you had made two.

I’m not sure which is the best part – the fluffy bite of pancakes, the taste of apple pie or the crunchy sweet crisp topping.

My son would say it’s the crisp topping. I’m just glad the dish is filling enough to hold him over until lunchtime.

It’s easy enough to give this pancake bake a protein boost. Just add a little protein powder to the mix or buy pancake mix with protein already added.

I’m a big fan of unsweetened protein powder. You can add a scoop to just about anything without compromising the flavor of whatever it is you’re making. Scroll down for the brand I recommend.

This is the perfect recipe for a weekend or holiday breakfast and leftovers heat up quickly in the microwave.
