Say goodbye to endless pancake flipping! These Sheet Pan Pancakes bake up fluffy and golden in one go, making breakfast for a crowd an absolute breeze. Perfect for busy mornings and customizable with all your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 3/4 cups milk (any kind works)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional toppings: fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries), chocolate chips, sliced bananas, cinnamon sugar, sprinkles

  • For serving: maple syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking sheet with butter or non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or rubber spatula until *just* combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine and even desirable for fluffy pancakes – do not overmix!
  • Pour the pancake batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it to reach all the corners.
  • If using, scatter your desired toppings evenly over the batter. Get creative with sections for different preferences (e.g., blueberries on one half, chocolate chips on the other).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Sheet Pan Pancakes are golden brown, puffed up, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy your easy oven baked pancakes!

Notes

    • Pro Tip for Fluffiness: Don’t overmix your batter! Lumps are a good thing when it comes to pancakes, as overmixing develops the gluten and can lead to tough pancakes. Mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
    • Make Ahead Magic: You can mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. For the ultimate meal prep, whisk the wet ingredients separately and combine them right before baking. The batter can also rest in the fridge for up to an hour before baking for even fluffier results.
    • Flavor Fiesta: Get creative with your toppings! While baking, you can add chocolate chips, blueberries, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. After baking, a dollop of whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of fruit compote can elevate your Sheet Pan Pancakes.
