Do you enjoy breakfast for dinner occasionally? We enjoyed this dish recently when the hubby wasn’t going to be home for dinner. I just didn’t feel like making a big dinner and my kids didn’t mind at all
It was hearty enough and satisfied everyone.
I started with my original Puff Pancake recipe and was planning on adding some blueberries, but the children requested banana. and. it. was. so.
It made 8 large pieces and we added sugar- free powdered sugar and honey on top.

Additional Notes:
- If you don’t have stevia you can use 1/2 cup of honey in the batter mix (this will increase your nutrition info) or you could try it without any since banana is naturally sweet.
- I used a 9 by 13 dish or a large pie dish is fine too.
- Substituting banana for some type of berries would be lovely!
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk ( I used 1%)
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sweetleaf stevia, vanilla creme, liquid form
- dash of salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and melt the butter in your dish while the oven is warming up. Watch carefully so the butter doesn’t turn brown.
- Blend all the rest of the ingredients in your blender or whisk by hand.
- Pour the mixture into your dish and bake for 15-20 minutes. Mine was perfect at 15.
The hubby had it the next day for breakfast at work. He doesn’t think it is like a pancake though, more like a soft breakfast bar. Since he didn’t have time to sit and eat it with a fork, he just warmed it and held it like a bar. He.loved.it. But I am still not changing the name.
Some yummy Winter Fruit Gazpacho would be wonderful with this!

Can you use a gluten free flour or maybe the gluten free pancake mix?
I don’t see why not, but since I’m not familiar with gluten free pancake mix, I might try the flour first.
LOVE breakfast for dinner (or any other meal!) This looks so good!
The puff pancake looks awesome! And nutritious, too. I haven’t tried making pancakes like this before, but I would love to give your recipe a shot. I respect that you don’t cook with sugar – I’m on the same train. I stick with honey and agave and even try to keep those to a minimum. Thanks for a healthy breakfast!
Just found out hubby has to work late and won’t be home for dinner tonight – I have a nice ripe banana on hand so this along with a fruit salad is on the menu for dinner tonight. I’m sure the boys will love it. Can’t wait to try!
Our family makes something similar which we typically make without sugar unless we are adding apples or peaches, but we do use maple syrup on top. Here is our version: http://delicious-nutritious.blogspot.com/2012/02/breakfast-to-impress.html
Thanks your recipe looks great too!

Can I just use egg whites (maybe
instead of the whole egg?
You could try it. I just linked all the other puff pancake recipes above in the post all with different adaptions I’ve made.

Made this this for breakfast this morning with raspberries added on top. Fantastic! Of course, my 21 month old threw a tantrum and refused to eat it, and then at lunch time gobbled up a GIANT slice and was asking for more. Sheesh.
hahaha that is awesome! love when that happens.

I just made this for dinner. I had a bunch of strawberries I needed to use up so I mashed them up, brought them to a simmer and added in some chia seeds to thicken it. I cut up some larger chunks of strawberries to throw on top along with some slivered almonds. While I agree with your husband about not being a pancake in the true form, it is close enough for me, and easier then standing there flipping over and over. Thanks for sharing this.
YUM! Sounds delish!
