Wake up to the delightful aroma of freshly baked pancakes with this easy Overnight Pancake Breakfast Bake. Perfect for busy mornings, this dish combines fluffy pancakes with a rich custard for a comforting breakfast experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 frozen Pancakes, cut in half
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • dash of nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • cinnamon to taste
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Cut each of the 24 frozen pancakes in half and layer them with the rounded side facing up in a greased casserole dish. Pack them tightly to ensure every piece is covered by the custard.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack and beat the 6 large eggs until well combined. This should take about 1 minute, and you’ll notice a slightly frothy texture.
  3. Mix in 1 ½ cups of whole milk, followed by 1 cup of evaporated milk. Stir until fully blended, which should take about 30 seconds.
  4. Add 3 teaspoons of sugar, a dash of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Sprinkle in cinnamon to your taste preference, and mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered pancakes in the casserole dish. Ensure all pancakes are coated; you may need to gently press them down to submerge some of the exposed edges.
  6. Cover the casserole dish tightly with tin foil and refrigerate overnight. This step is crucial as it allows the pancakes to absorb the custard.
  7. On the following morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  8. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of flour and ¼ cup of brown sugar. Add cinnamon to your taste, and mix well.
  9. Pour in 4 tablespoons of melted butter and stir with a spoon or your hands until the mixture resembles a loose crumble. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
  10. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pancake casserole. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set.
  11. Once done, let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with fresh fruit or your favorite syrup!

Keywords: Ensure pancakes are packed tightly in the dish for even absorption of the custard. You can customize with chocolate chips or fruits between layers for added flavor.
