    If you’ve been to Trader Joe’s then you absolutely know about their Pancake Bread, and I truly believe that it really lives up to its hype.

    Unfortunately we live about 2 hours away from there and I would always stock up because I loved it so much, but I wanted to try my hand at making it at home.

    I love love love making copycat recipes when I can. Not only does it save me money, but I don’t have to travel to get some of my favorite foods.

    This Pancake Bread is absolutely delicious! The bread is light and sweet with just enough syrup flavor to make it really taste like you are eating pancakes.

    With the added streusel on top, not something normal to pancakes it really gives it a nice crunchy texture and some delicious added flavor.

    If you want to try something different for breakfast I highly recommend you try this Copycat Trader Joe’s Pancake Bread, we are absolutely in love.

    Once you try it I really hope that you love it as much as you do, and if you’ve tried the bread from Trader Joe’s you’ll have to let me know what you like better!

    Some of my other favorite breakfast recipes we have on our site include: Berry Pancake Bites, Cinnamon Roll Casserole and Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Knots.

    WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

    • With a light texture and crumb topping the textures play well together.
    • You can easily double this recipe to make more for guests or to give as gifts or save for later.
    • You can find all the ingredients easily at your local grocer.

    INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE AT BOTTOM):

    All-purpose flour
    Baking soda
    Ground cinnamon
    Baking powder
    Sea salt
    Unsalted butter
    Granulated sugar
    Light brown sugar
    Egg
    Maple extract
    Buttermilk

    Ingredients needed to make Pancake Bread.

    HOW TO MAKE PANCAKE BREAD, STEP BY STEP:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with baking spray and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
    2. Cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer for 2 minutes until combined. 
    3. Add in the egg and maple extract, mix until combined.
    4. Add half of the flour to the bowl and mix in well. 
    5. Next add in half of the buttermilk, and mix it in. Repeat with the remaining flour, then buttermilk. 
    6. Spread the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top, set aside.
    7. In a small bowl whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter. 
    8. Stir in the flour until well combined, the mixture will be crumbly. 
    9. Add the crumble on top of the batter. Bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
    10. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Take the bread out of the pan and cool, serve warm or at room temperature.

    I DON’T HAVE BUTTERMILK, CAN I USE REGULAR MILK?

    I highly recommend buttermilk, I mean you always hear about buttermilk pancakes so why would you want to stray from that with this recipe.

    No worries, if you do not have buttermilk at home you can easily make your own! To do that add 1 cup or regular milk to a measuring cup and add 1 Tbs of white vinegar or lemon juice.

    Stir this mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes and then stir again and add to your batter. Tada buttermilk!

    WHAT DOES THIS TASTE LIKE?

    This tastes like a light pound cake or coffee cake that has a hint of maple flavor, the flavor is not overpowering but perfectly blends well into the bread.

    You will also get hints of brown sugar from the topping along with a little bit of cinnamon mixed in, pretty much the perfect flavor in my opinion.

    HOW DO I SERVE THIS?

    You can serve it however you’d like. Slice it up and eat it, slather it with butter or in true pancake style place it on a plate, add a pat of butter and a drizzle of syrup and eat with a fork like we do!

    HOW TO STORE:

    Stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag this Pancake Bread will keep at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.

    This can also be frozen, to do that, wrap your bread in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag, this will last for up to 6 months in the freezer, defrost on countertop before serving.

    TIPS AND TRICKS:

    • We like to use maple extract in this because a little goes a long ways, it is easy to find next to the vanilla at your local grocer.
    • This recipe can easily be doubled to have one for later or to give as gifts.
    • Buttermilk is essential in this recipe, if you do not have it I have provided a recipe above on how to make your own.
    • This can be frozen, see my tips above.
    • The crumb topping is a great texture contrast to this light tasty bread.
    • Serve it however you’d like. We like to serve traditional pancake style, on a plate topped with butter and drizzled with maple syrup.
