Easy Pancake Chocolate Chip French Toast Bake
This delectable dish combines the fluffy goodness of pancakes with the rich flavors of chocolate chips and the comforting warmth of French toast, all baked into one irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- 54 mini frozen pancakes thawed. (De Wafelbakkers Buttermilk Mini Pancakes are my favorite)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream or whole milk
- 4 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup fresh strawberries sliced
- Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Lightly butter a 8x8 baking dish, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 350° (F)
- Prick each pancake 3–4 times with a fork. Place in the prepared baking dish in 3 long rows, overlapping in a shingled formation.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Slowly add cream, or milk, until all the ingredients are combined.
- Pour over pancakes in baking dish. Let set for 10 minutes.
- Place the casserole in a preheated oven on the center rack in the center of the oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Check to see if the pancakes are golden brown. If so, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil and continue baking an additional 15 minutes until the egg mixture is cooked.
- Carefully remove from the oven and sprinkle with mini-chocolate chips. Let rest for 10 minutes. Top with sliced strawberries and maple syrup. Cut into 12 equal squares and serve.
Notes
You can use homemade pancakes or pancakes from a mix instead of frozen, and then you do not need to poke holes in the pancakes.
