Who doesn't love pancakes? They're one of those childhood favorites that just seems to stay popular. It's hard to think that they could be made to be even better. As you'll see in these below, however, when they're combined with other ingredients and whipped up into a casserole they can become an improvement over the original.
Whether you call it a casserole, a crumble or a cake, the recipes below are delicious – and ever so pretty when you pull them out of the oven.

Overnight pancake casserole
Frozen pancakes provide the raw material for this casserole. It saves time, and the frozen ones hold up just fine overnight and in the oven. In the morning all you have to do is crumble the delicious streusel topping on top and pop them in the oven. When a delicious pancake breakfast is as easy to make as this, you'll enjoy eating it as much as the kids.
Chocolate chip pancake casserole
You can make this chocolate chip pancake casserole a couple of ways. You can use chocolate chip pancakes or you can sprinkle chocolate chips over plain pancakes once they're in the baking dish. One version involves getting really crazy and sprinkling chocolate chips over chocolate chip pancakes. Keeping it simple with just chocolate chip pancakes can be sweet enough or even divine.
Blueberry buttermilk pancake casserole
Juicy blueberries sit atop a fluffy and tender cake that resembles buttermilk pancakes in this recipe. As those blueberries cook, they release some of their juices so they trickle down into the cake, which is what makes it looks so pretty. The sweet crumble topping gives the entire thing a little bit of texture and extra sweetness.
Cinnamon and apple pancake casserole
The best part of making the recipe below is watching it puff up nice and golden in the oven. But it tastes pretty darned good, too. In this dish, apples are lightly sautéed before a sweet and smooth batter gets poured on top and it goes into the oven to bake. A little dusting of powdered sugar when it's ready to eat creates the goodness of pancakes and apple pie in one dish.
Banana pancake casserole
Bananas are delicious and healthy, too, but they go bad all too quickly. When they do, one first course of action is to turn them into banana bread, but that becomes boring after a while. If you've got some very ripe bananas looking up at you from the fruit basket, try the recipe below instead. It's kind of like banana bread but different enough to keep things interesting.
