Blueberry Pancake Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen homestyle pancakes (14–16.4 oz)
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup egg substitute (or 3 eggs, beaten)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ¾ cup low-fat granola mix
- Maple syrup (optional)
Steps
- Microwave pancakes for 1 minute on HIGH or until thawed; cut in half. Coat 9-inch square baking dish with spray; arrange pancakes in 2 rows, overlapping pancakes (shingle) with the cut edge down.
- Place half-and-half and sugar in medium saucepan; heat on medium for 2–3 minutes or until steaming. Remove pan from heat; whisk eggs and vanilla into hot mixture for 30 seconds to blend.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Pour egg mixture over pancakes. Let stand 15 minutes (or overnight) until liquid is absorbed. Top with blueberries; bake 20–25 minutes
- Top pancake with granola; bake 4–5 more minutes or until granola is toasted and center is set. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
Candied Bacon

Vanilla Fresh-Cut Fruit Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, undrained

- ¼ cup vanilla instant pudding mix
