German Pancakes

by Erin

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday! I am always sad for it to be over, but thankfully New Years is only a week away so the excuse to eat excessively isn’t quite over. I prefer to not be judged when I had three full-sized slices of pie for dessert.

But today is Secret Recipe Club posting day. This month I got to pick a recipe from many delicious options by Kirstin at Loving Life. I actually really wanted to make her banana cream cheesecake, but with all the other desserts flying around I convinced myself to make something sweet for breakfast instead O:-). (But definitely need to make that cheesecake soon!)

This was my first experience with German pancakes – they kind of remind me of French toast, and I LOVE French toast! Will have to repeat these and test out different toppings, but was craving blueberries this time.

I’ve seen recipes for these often and I think I might have to try it for breakfast in the morning! So much easier than flipping pancakes.

Id never seen German pancakes before (that I know of) but these look so cute (all rectangular and stuffs). I was thinking I need to mix up my breakfast rotation soon for the BF.

I was actually thinking of cooking these in individual pans next time so that I don’t have to cut them up from the bigger pan. But definitely a good change in the breakfast plan!

Looks yummy! I’m going to have to send along David’s family recipe to try….straight from Germany and only 3 ingredients….not including the applesauce and cinnamon sugar that goes on top :)

What a great recipe! I love that you baked the pancake rather then cooking it in a griddle. This is one pancake recipe, I will have to try!!! Thanks for trying it out and sharing it with us.

Ooooh, I have some blueberries in my freezer still from the summer. Sounds like a good topping choice to me. I actually used some to top your gingerbread pancakes too!

I’ve seen German pancakes on menus at restaurants before, but never tried one or even seen one for that matter. This sounds super easy and super delicious! I may just have to make them this week. Thanks for sharing :)

Ooh, I’ve never heard of German pancakes either–they do look yummy, though! I like the idea of baking them rather than doing them on a griddle. Yum!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. :)
