Oven pancakes on a Saturday morning

This morning I woke up to the sound of the blender crazily attacking some helpless food form. I assumed my darling husband was whipping me up one of my healthy green shakes (spinach, frozen cherries, frozen pineapple, flax seed, protein powder and water...yum!)

I took my time stretching and wiggling my toes before joining him in the kitchen. But instead of a cup of my gloppy goodness, I found warm, buttery, puffed up pancakes. Oven Pancakes *eye lashes fluttering...about to faint*
Not exactly the health boost I was anticipating. 

These babies are a cinch to make. All you need is a blender and a pre-warmed 9x13 pan 

melt 1/4 cup of butter in a 9x13, in the oven at 425

While that is melting whirl together 4 eggs until well blended, maybe a min or so. Slowly add 1 cup of milk and then 1 cup of flour. Remove pan and pour batter over the melted butter. 
Let bake for about 20min or until puffy, browned and delicious!!!

The options for topping these wonders of nature are endless. One of my favorites are sautéed apples in cinnamon and honey (or sugar). But add a bit of maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar and you may just die and go to heaven. 
 Enjoy!
