Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and a heavy pinch salt. Whisk in the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Refrigerate batter overnight.
2
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line an 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with the cooking spray. Add batter to prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
3
If desired, to 1 quadrant, add the chocolate-hazelnut or other spread. With a toothpick or spatula, make swirls in the batter with the spread, staying in its own quadrant. Bake 7 min., then, if desired, add the strawberries, blueberries, and/or bananas to the remaining 3 quadrants. Bake another 8–12 min., until golden brown. Slice into squares or use cookie cutters to punch out fun shapes. Serve warm with the maple syrup.
Tips
If you don’t have instant yeast, dissolve 1 tbsp active dry yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Let sit 5 min., until foamy. Add yeast mixture to batter with wet ingredients.
