Description
A Breakfast Pancake Loaf is a baked version of pancakes in a loaf form. Instead of standing over the stove flipping pancakes, you can pour your batter into a loaf pan and bake it all at once. This simple change saves time and effort, making it perfect for busy mornings or meal prep. The texture of the loaf mimics fluffy pancakes, so every slice is just as satisfying as the stack of pancakes you would normally serve.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar (or maple syrup, honey, or your preferred sweetener)
Wet Ingredients
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk or milk of choice
2 large eggs
3 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins (choose your favorite!)
½ cup blueberries
1 small mashed banana
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped strawberries or apples
¼ tsp cinnamon (great with banana or apple)
Instructions
1. Prep the Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few small lumps are fine).
Gently fold in your chosen add-ins (e.g., blueberries, banana, or chocolate chips).
3. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
4. Serve
Slice and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or yogurt.
For a “pancake stack” vibe, drizzle with syrup and top with fresh fruit.
Great for freezing — slice, wrap, and reheat in a toaster or microwave!
Notes
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a pat of butter, or a spoonful of fruit compote for the perfect morning treat. You can also add chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture!
