Ugnspannkaka is a Swedish thick pancake baked in the oven. It’s a Swedish classic usually served with fried bacon and lingon berry jam. It’s extremely nostalgic to me, and I remember that it was a good day when you got it for lunch at school. Now as a “grown up”, I’ve realized it’s a great meal with carbs, protein, and some fat, and great to meal prep! For a more veggiefull version, I’ve substituted the smoki- and saltiness of the bacon with fried mushrooms flavoured with liquid smoke and soy sauce, but you serve it with whatever you like. Simply YUM!
