11 Caramel Peach Upside‑Down Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 1/4 cups milk

  • 1 egg

  • 3 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Prepare Caramelized Peaches

  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar until bubbly.

  • Stir in sliced peaches, cinnamon, and salt.

  • Cook for 3–5 minutes, until peaches are soft and coated in caramel sauce.

  • Spoon a layer of caramel-peach mixture into the bottom of a greased muffin tin, ramekins, or a 10–12″ oven-safe skillet.

2. Make the Pancake Batter

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  • In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined (don’t overmix).

3. Assemble and Bake

  • Spoon pancake batter over the peach-caramel layer, filling muffin cups about 3/4 full (or covering the skillet peaches evenly).

  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes (muffin tin/ramekins) or 18–20 minutes (skillet), until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Flip and Serve

  • Let cool for 5 minutes. Then invert carefully onto a platter or plates while warm so the caramel doesn’t stick.

  • Drizzle with extra syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.


Tips & Variations

  • Use canned or frozen peaches if fresh aren’t in season (drain well).

  • Add chopped pecans to the caramel layer for crunch.

  • Try apples or pears for seasonal swaps.
