Uses Pyrex® 9”x13” Deep Baking Dish

Serves 12

Ingredients

6 cups pancake mix or 1 box

4-½ cup almond milk or milk

12 eggs, divided, 6 for the pancakes and 6 for the casserole

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 pint blueberries

3 cups half and half

½ cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup, optional garnish

Powdered sugar, optional garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl mix together pancake mix, milk, 6 eggs and ¼ cup oil until smooth.
Heat a griddle or large pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Using a ½ measuring cup create pancakes using both a full ½ cup and ¼ cup, so that they vary in size. Make all pancakes and set aside.
Spray your Pyrex® 9”x13” Deep baking dish with cooking spray and layer pancakes, adding blueberries on each layer.
In a large bowl whisk remaining 6 eggs with half and half, vanilla extra and sugar. Pour over pancakes and bake for 20-25 minutes until custard is firm.
Remove from oven and top with syrup and powdered sugar, if desired.
