# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 2 cups whole milk
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Toppings
10 - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
11 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
12 - Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing. Batter should remain slightly lumpy.
05 - Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle 1/2 cup maple syrup over the top. Using a knife, lightly swirl syrup through batter for a marbled effect.
06 - Scatter chopped pecans or walnuts over the batter, if desired.
07 - Bake in the center of the oven for 28–32 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm with extra maple syrup.
