How to Make Overnight Blueberry Waffle Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Pancake and Waffle Mix (Opt for gluten-free if needed.)
  • 1/2 cup Melted Coconut Oil (Can be swapped with melted butter or vegan butter.)
  • 11 large Eggs (Essential for structure and moisture.)
  • 1 cup Water (Using milk can enhance the flavor.)
  • 1 cup Almond Milk (Feel free to use dairy milk as an alternative.)
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup (Honey or agave syrup works as alternatives.)
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract (Almond extract could be an interesting swap.)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Nutmeg is an alternative.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Crucial for balanced flavor.)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Consider coconut sugar for a healthier option.)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (Use dark brown sugar for deeper flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (An extra touch of spice.)
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter or Vegan Butter (Choose based on dietary needs.)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (1:1 Gluten-Free Flour can be used.)

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, almond milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the pancake and waffle mix, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and additional salt.
  3. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
  4. Fold in fresh or frozen blueberries gently.
  5. Grease a baking dish and pour the batter into it. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
