Ingredients

• 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.
