The Best Breakfast EVER

What happens when you mix your favorite banana pancake recipe with a cake and a cast-iron skillet? THE BEST BREAKFAST EVER, that’s what! I am a huge pancake lover. It’s my go-to weekend breakfast and I always make sure to make a double batch so that I can have leftovers, which are usually eaten later that day as a snack. There are two kinds of pancake lovers- those that are patient enough to cook their pancakes on low/medium heat, and those that always scorch their pancakes on high because they are too excited to wait for the perfect pancake. I’m sure you can guess which kind of pancake lover I am…the impatient kind. Well, I’ve got a solution. Instead of going through the agony of pouring and waiting and flipping and waiting, all you need to do is pour your batter into a cast iron skillet and bake that baby in the oven!

How to Make Banana Breakfast Cake

Making breakfast cake is as easy as 1-2-3! First things first! Get yourself a cast iron skillet! In case you are wondering, this guy is a 10 inch and perfect for breakfast cakes. All you have to do is mix all of the ingredients for your breakfast cake in a large bowl and make sure all ingredients are combined. Then, the most important thing to remember for this recipe is to grease your cast iron pan. If you don’t your breakfast cake will stick to the pan and it will be a sad day. Bake your breakfast cake at 350ºF for 30-35 minutes! Remove the breakfast cake from the oven, let cool, and remove!

I just made this this morning and it was a hit! My kids loved it! I added chocolate chips and served it with homemade whipped cream. I also used my immersion blender on the bananas which I think helped make it a bit fluffy. Highly recommend this recipe!

I tried this recipe twice in two separate ovens and both times was a disaster! I followed the instructions exactly, but after an hour in the oven it still wasn’t cooked all the way through. Plus, I used quality ingredients but the results really didn’t taste good. Not a good recipe.

Hi!
This sounds amazing. I have a 9 inch skillet. Do you think that will work or do you have suggestions of adjustments on cook time? Thanks!
