A baked speculoos pancake sheet hack is an easy way to make a large batch of pancakes with the delicious flavor of speculoos cookies! The hack involves combining the best elements of pancakes and a cookie-inspired twist. Here’s a recipe to make it:
Baked Speculoos Pancake Sheet Hack
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk (whole or any milk of your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp speculoos cookie spread (also called Biscoff spread)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional for extra spice)
- Speculoos cookies (crumbled) or additional speculoos spread for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet (or line it with parchment paper) to prevent sticking. A rimmed baking sheet works best for easy handling.
- Make the pancake batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Add speculoos spread:
- Warm the speculoos spread slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make it easier to incorporate.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the speculoos spread to the pancake batter and gently fold it in. This adds flavor and a rich, caramelized undertone.
- Bake the pancake sheet:
- Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Optional Toppings:
- Once the pancake sheet is out of the oven, you can drizzle it with more speculoos spread, top with crumbled speculoos cookies, or dust it with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Slice into squares and serve warm!
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream on top.
For added decadence, add fresh fruit like bananas or berries.
Enjoy
