Notes
Tips + Tricks
- Fresh homemade pancakes will taste best in this casserole. Make the pancakes, let them cool to room temperature, and then follow the rest of the recipe to make the casserole.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, don’t overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay.
- Maple syrup isn’t the only topping for the pancake casserole. Anything you would add to pancakes will taste great here too. Top with jam, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or sprinkles to add more flavor to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
This overnight pancake casserole is an excellent addition to any brunch table. To get the most out of the meal, serve it alongside my favorite fruit salad, million-dollar bacon, or scrambled eggs.
Topping Ideas
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Sliced bananas
- Chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
How To Store + Freeze
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. When ready to eat, warm in the microwave or oven at a low temperature. The pancake casserole can also be frozen whole or in individual slices for 2-3 months. Thaw the casserole overnight or for a few hours in the refrigerator before fully reheating.
