Easy Quick and Delicious

It's perfect for weekends especially if you have visitors like we do here in Florida that spend a few days.

I really like an all in one breakfast. No standing over the stove flipping pancakes.

The batter is perfect, the topping can be adapted to whatever the family or guests will like.

I have several suggestions below, keep reading.

this is breakfast all in one pan. The pancake is baked all in one pan with fruits. This is a baked apple and blueberry combination of fruits. It has syrup on top on a white plate ready to eat with a fork.

Tips

Use pre-cooked sausage and bacon for faster cooking instead of cooking separately
Always oil spray the pan for easy release
Any fruits work great whatever you like sliced up
Any baking mix will work fine
Experiment with spices like pumpkin spice, nutmeg, ginger, etc.
Use other toppings like strawberry jams warmed up or ice cream toppings
Sprinkle with nuts, coconut, or any kinds of fresh fruits and set up a breakfast bar to add their own toppings
Make puree fruits instead of syrup and top with whipped cream

The Meats

Meats need to be cooked first since the pancake bakes faster than the meat will cook.

Fry up some bacon or used pre-cooked when adding to the casserole, the bacon raw won't cook all the way through.

Also, pre-cooked sausage works better or you will have to cook the raw sausage first.

When I am in a hurry I bake the bacon first on parchment paper till crispy.

You can also use smoked ham steaks, or other meats that are cooked even leftover steak of breaded chicken is a favorite here.

Section it off

I realize not everyone loves fruits, especially my picky bunch here.

You can make sections all in one pan!

Just make each row in the pan something different.

One section with assorted fruits and meats, one plain with just meats, and then that last section with nothing.

Let them cut their piece and add what they want from your breakfast bar station with an assortment of anything they want to top it with.

Again, make it fun, easy and this one pan of the easiest breakfast ever will be your new favorite way to make pancakes!

All In One Pan and Plate!

A little real maple syrup and real butter are a must-have on the table for us.

You can choose other flavors and even use pureed fruits, whipped cream and have a dessert pancake.

The whole breakfast idea is to make this easy and enjoy your family and friends without standing over a stove!

Suggestions

A great way to get the kids to eat fruits, use dried fruits if you don't have fresh fruits available.
Craisin, raisins, apricots, figs, and dates or in combination go great in this pancake breakfast.
Mine actually love a combination of bananas, blueberries, and apples along with pork sausages, the flavors all are perfect together!
Mix and match whatever your family loves, even canned fruits and change the flavors with extracts in the batter like lemon and maple.
Of course, a favorite for the kids is adding some chocolate chips in the batter.
Also try some sliced bananas, raspberries, strawberries, chopped peaches, blackberries, raspberries or even chopped mango!
Then if you really want a tropical treat using both the pineapple and mango add some coconut to really make it a taste of the Islands treat
