I have such a love hate relationship with pancakes. I mean, I love them because….PANCAKES! But ugh, they’re sort of a pain, no? With the waiting, and flipping, and having to make them in batches. Or you keep them in the oven to stay warm, but then they’re not really fresh. And everyone eats in shifts. Blerg.

You guys. Sheet Pan Pancakes for the win! We’ve been enjoying these for a few years now before they started showing up everywhere. It’s one of my favorite creations of all time. Same great flavor and texture, but so much easier. And quick enough you could make them on a weekday morning. Plus, the family gets to eat at the same time and they’re customizable so everyone is happy! HUZZAH.

Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make our version:
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

  • All-purpose flour: Make sure it’s spooned and leveled and not scooped to prevent excess flour, which will result in dry pancakes.
  • Brown sugar and Granulated sugar: For sweetness.
  • Baking powder: For lift.
  • Kosher salt: So the taste isn’t flat.
  • Largeeggs: These help bind the batter together.
  • Whole milk: This adds necessary moisture so the pancakes are fluffy.
  • Unsalted butter: For richness and moisture.
  • Vanilla: A little for added flavor.
  • Toppings: We divide our batter into 4 sections which include jam, berries, chocolate chips, and a mix of brown sugar/cinnamon and butter.

Pancake Recipe Variations

  • Try different fruits: A total of 1 cup berries can be mixed into the batter, if preferred. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries all work well here, or a combination.
  • Fresh or frozen berries? I prefer fresh berries because the cooking time is so short. But frozen berries can be used, as long as they’re small. Otherwise they might not have time to properly thaw and fully cook the batter surrounding them.
  • Mix some nuts into the batter like walnuts or pecans.
  • Can I use pancake mix? I haven’t tested this recipe using pancake mix because the from-scratch batter in this recipe is so incredibly easy, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work.

FAQs

What size sheet pan for sheet pan dinner? ›

The right baking sheet to use for sheet pan dinners is called a half-sheet pan. It's made of heavy-gauge metal, measures 18 by 13 inches, and has a 1-inch rim all the way around. It's sturdy enough to take high oven heat — and sometimes broiler heat if your recipe calls for it.

Are pancakes good for gut health? ›

With traditional pancakes, the combination of gluten, dairy & refined sugar can lead to a tornado of digestive upset. However, you can replace those ingredients with nutrient-rich, easily digestible alternatives to make a tummy-loving pancake.

What oil is best for pancakes? ›

"This also allows the pancakes to get an even color and cook all the way through without burning." The key is to use an oil with a neutral flavor, like vegetable oil, and use it sparingly, so the pancakes maintain a nice texture and aren't too hard on either side.

What is the secret of fluffy pancakes? ›

The secret is in the egg whites!

To give your pancakes that fluffy text, beat only the egg whites for 3 minutes on medium speed. They'll start turning creamy, which means it's time to add them to the pancake mixture. Use a wooden spatula to incorporate everything. There you have it!

What makes pancakes fluffy and helps them rise? ›

Pancakes and waffles typically both contain baking soda, which causes them to rise. As soon as the baking soda is combined with the wet ingredients (which contain an acidic ingredient, like often buttermilk), it starts producing carbon dioxide gas bubbles that cause the batter to rise.

Does milk instead of water make pancakes better? ›

Can I Use Water Instead of Milk in Pancakes? Milk adds both flavor and texture to pancake batter, so if you are looking to make pancakes without milk, a simple swap to water doesn't always do the trick. For pancakes made without milk, you'll want to add some flavor through melted butter and vanilla extract.

How many people does a full sheet pan feed? ›

Full-sheet cakes, as mentioned, are the crowd's favorites for large events, serving about 70-80 on average. As the go-to choice for smaller gatherings, half-sheet cakes can feed 36-48 people.

What is a full sheet pan? ›

A full-sheet pan measures 26-by-18 inches and typically has sides that are about one inch high. They're generally too large for practical home use—in fact they won't fit in many home ovens.

What temperature do you cook sheet pans? ›

Temperatures range from 375-400°F for sheet pan meals. Depending on the vegetables and protein you've chosen, it may take anywhere from 35-45 minutes to cook thoroughly. Remember if you've chosen something you know will overcook in that period, you want to add it in later on in the cooking time.

What is a stomach pancake? ›

Pancaking occurs when a vacuum (absence of air) occurs in the stoma bag, preventing the soma output dropping down into the bag. This can happen with a colostomy or ileostomy. The main reason for pancaking is due to the filter on the bag letting all the air out so there is none left in the bag.

What are the healthiest pancakes to eat? ›

Top 20 healthy pancake recipes
  • Banana oat pancakes.
  • Buckwheat crêpe madames.
  • Easy pancakes.
  • Spinach & tuna pancakes.
  • Coconut & banana pancakes.
  • Keto pancakes.
  • Easy protein pancakes.

Are pancakes good for stomach pain? ›

Bland Carbohydrates. You can also eat pancakes and waffles that are made with white flour, but just make sure to not use too much syrup.

What makes pancakes unhealthy? ›

That large stack of pancakes with syrup is a plateful of refined carbohydrates that rapidly increases your blood sugar and harmful triglycerides to raise your risk of heart disease. Guys who binge on white-flour goods have a greater chance of sudden death from heart attack.

Why should you avoid over mixing your pancakes? ›

Aside from deflating the batter, over-mixing is something to avoid for a second reason: it develops gluten. Now gluten isn't always something to run and hide from (unless you have an allergy of course, in which case you should head on over to our selection of gluten-free pancake recipes).

What makes pancakes not rise? ›

TIP: Make sure your baking powder is not out of date, or your pancakes won't rise as well. Combine wet ingredients together in a separate jug – this step is more important than you might think. The less you mix the batter, the fluffier your pancakes will be.
