Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups milk
4 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter or olive oil
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
1 cup chopped spinach or other vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon or sausage, chopped spinach, and herbs.
Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares to serve.
