French Toast Pancakes Recipe

In this French Toast Pancakes recipe, fluffy buttermilk pancakes are dipped in a deliciously cinnamon spiced french toast custard and fried until golden brown! It's the best of both worlds.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For making the French Toast:

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, oil, and vanilla.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined but still slightly lumpy.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a heated griddle or skillet. Cook for 3 minutes or until bubbles have formed on the surface and popped. Flip the pancake and continue cooking until cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Set pancakes aside until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, such as a pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
  • Dip each pancake in the egg mixture and let sit for 15 seconds per side. Transfer to the griddle and cook for 2 more minutes per side.
  • Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, and fresh fruit, as desired.

Notes

How to Store & Reheat 
Stack them with a piece of wax paper between each pancake and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
When you’re ready to reheat, just pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or warm them in a skillet over medium heat until they’re toasty and hot.
How long will these pancakes last in the fridge?
About 4-5 days.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yep! Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking tray and pop into the freezer for about an hour. Once frozen you can transfer them to a storage container or bag and store them for up to three months.
