If you are needing an easy breakfast idea this Blueberry Pancake French Toast Casserole will be perfect for you. Blueberry Pancakes meet French Toast in this awesome breakfast dish. Pancakes are always a hit but feeding my family requires bunches and bunches of pancakes. Last week I had picked up some frozen blueberry pancakes with a coupon that I had on hand. One bag really isn’t always enough to feed this gang. Since everyone enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole, I decide to make a similar breakfast bake with blueberry pancakes.

I was not quite sure how this dish would turn out. I was a bit nervous. But, how could I go wrong though with pancakes and blueberries in a casserole form?
This Blueberry Pancake French Toast Casserole turned out fabulous! So much so that I am having to make a second batch so the family can enjoy it again for “dinner for breakfast” this week. Some of us drizzled on a bit of syrup. Perfect with morning coffee. Plus this breakfast filled the whole family so great when feeding a crowd at the office or for brunch.
