Easy oven baked pancake with a fresh blueberry filling makes a comforting Springtime breakfast. This has a flavor halfway between blueberry pancakes and a Dutch Baby.
Oven Baked Blueberry Pancake
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
The Ready Set Cook cooking challenge is being continued in one of my cooking groups, and in this second part, I am posting this recipe for Oven Baked Blueberry Pancake for the breakfast/brunch recipes.
This recipe is a bit similar to recipes I have posted for German Apple Pancake, Dutch Baby and Dutch Baby with Apples. It is egg heavy so won’t taste like a griddled flapjack, but more like a Yorkshire Pudding, albeit sweet or possibly a little bit like a clafoutis.
It is very good with sprinkled sugar and extra berries for toppings, but if you like you can make a blueberry sauce or perhaps serve it with whipped cream. It would also pair easily with lemon wedges or standard maple syrup. But for the #RSC presentation, it stands on its own with the sugar and berries, since ingredients are constricted in this cooking challenge.
Another year, another #RSC
If you recall, a couple weeks ago I told you about #RSC, in that I have been presented with a limited list of cooking ingredients and am confined to that to develop recipes. It’s sort of like a chopped basket.
Here are links to the recipes I created a couple of weeks ago in Round One:
Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Soup
Wild Rice and Mushroom Cabbage Rolls
My Curried Chicken Lollipops appear to be the most well received, although I like them all. I think the ease of that recipe made it popular.
And earlier in the week, I posted my first two RSC recipes for Round 2, one for desserts, and amother for condiments/sauces/gravies:
Blueberry Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
For the second round I will have four recipes again, the last one being my recipe for Spicy Asian Chicken Tacos.
Also, for those who have followed me online over the years, here is one of the recipes I put in for the first RSC on Recipezaar back in 2002. It won.
Santa Fe Pork Medallions with Peach Salsa
Here is another recipe that won in a RSC a different year, and also in a CSM contest:
Strawberry Sweetheart Streusel Muffins
I also have had second and third place winners (I played whenever I could) but I don’t recall them all. I’ve been posting for over 15 years and the line of recipes goes back beyond easy memory. I’d have to take the old brain and think on it. 😉

Wow, what an awesome recipe Sue. 5 *’s all the way, everyday…. I love pancakes and this recipe does not disappoint. The pancake was crispy on the outside and soft and tender inside…and very delicious. I made these to celebrate a friends acceptance to her university of choice. I made mine as written, so very yummy. She doesn’t like blueberries so she we substituted raspberries in her pancake and topped it with strawberries & cream. Both versions were excellent. Thanks so much for playing. Excellent Use of game ingredients.
Glad you enjoyed! I love these kind of pancakes.
Made as written for the Breakfast Category of RSC Round 2 except for the use of a baking pan since I don’t have a cast iron skillet. You may already know that I host a family brunch every 2 wks on Sat morning after the family walks. They arrive hungry & view brunch as breakfast w/an excuse to have dessert, so a sweet treat is required. Brunch yesterday included this recipe I baked Fri evening & then served warmed w/link sausage & scrambled eggs. Your recipe is a tasty easy-fix that works well to make-ahead & is versatile. Using Siggi & myself as an example, he was happy to eat his serving plain & opt out of using any sugar, BUT I couldn’t wait to douse my serving generously w/powdered sugar after eyeing your pics. When you host a brunch 26 times a yr, you need weapons to win the war on boredom & you just added a new weapon to my arsenal. Thx for sharing. 🙂
