A fluffy Finnish oven pancake topped with sweet bananas and rich homemade caramel sauce. This easy baked pancake is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert and requires minimal effort with impressive results.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 1/4 cup butter in a baking dish and allow it to melt in the oven.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  3. Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and swirl the melted butter to coat the bottom evenly.
  4. Pour the batter into the hot baking dish and return to the oven.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  6. While the pancake bakes, prepare the caramel by melting 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
  7. Slowly add heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
  8. Top the baked pancake with sliced bananas and drizzle with warm caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Serve immediately for best texture as the pancake will deflate slightly after removing from the oven.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream in the caramel sauce.
  • Add a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
