This Blueberry Pancake Casserole is thick and fluffy, has lots of blueberries, and a perfect sugary crumble on top. Add some maple syrup for serving, and you will have yourself an amazing breakfast!
Combine the flour, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
Melt the butter and pour it into the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture is nice and crumbly, then place it in the fridge.
For the batter:
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Add the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and orange zest into a large mixing bowl.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, orange juice, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs and whisk well.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and combine them with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be lumpy, and that is ok! Don’t over mix the batter!!
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the fresh blueberries on top, then take the sugar crumble out of the fridge and crumble over the blueberries and the batter.
➙ You can freeze the baked casserole for 1-2 months. To thaw, take it out the night before or a couple of hours before you need it. Then, warm it up in the oven or the microwave.➙ You can substitute fresh fruit with frozen; adjust the baking time (it will take a few minutes longer in the oven).
