This sheet pan breakfast casserole is great even for a quick weeknight or weekend meal when you're in a hurry.
The casserole can even be made ahead and taste great reheated and if you prefer homemade pancake batter try my recipe.
I love the different combinations we have tried but the apple crumb topping with cooked breakfast sausage and crispy crumbled bacon is still our favorite pancake meal!
Just think about how easy having the meat, a favorite fruit, or a delicious cinnamon topping baked onto a cake-like pancake done in no time using a mix.
Prepare it the night before to bake it in the morning or freeze it for the easiest breakfast to feed a crowd and you can even make this in a cupcake tin for individual servings for a grab-and-go!
This can be served with pureed fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or just dusted with powdered sugar.

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, and the topping can be adapted to whatever the family or guests will like just by setting up a breakfast bar it will take out all the guesswork that they like and build their own breakfast!
I have several suggestions below, for different combinations.
Shopping List:

- cinnamon nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin spice, or ginger
- water

Tips for making Pancake Casserole
- Use pre-cooked sausage and bacon for faster cooking instead of cooking separately
- Always oil spray the pan for easy release or line it with parchment paper
- Made from scratch pancake batter is great to use
- Any fruits work great whatever you like sliced up
