How to Make Baked Pancakes
- Step 1 – First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with a non stick spray of your choice. I love using my pyrex baking dish.
Step 2 – Next in a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt).
Step 3 – Then in a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and melted butter. Then stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, just until combined. The pancake batter will have lumps.
Step 4 – Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5 – Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve with your favorite toppings.

I always make pancakes from scratch, but with little kids it isn’t always convenient to make individual pancakes. This was perfect. They helped me make them and into the oven they went – no babysitting required. The taste is great and not too sweet considering you normally put syrup on them. Yum!
