Sheet Pan Pancake Advantages
Even Cooking: Sheet pan pancakes cook evenly. You won’t have burnt edges or undercooked centers.
Time-Saving: A sheet pan pancake eliminates standing by the stove and flipping each pancake. And you don’t have to worry about keeping individual pancakes warm when serving several people. It’s the perfect breakfast for a weekend or holiday morning with family.
Great for Crowds: Sheet pan pancakes eliminate the need to make several individual servings, ensuring everyone gets their breakfast or brunch simultaneously.
Less Cleanup: The parchment paper-lined sheet pan is easier to clean than a greasy skillet and stovetop.
Fun to Serve: Slice the pancakes into squares or strips and stack them with fillings and toppings. Or pack them for an on-the-go breakfast or snack.
I chose mini chocolate chips for this big pancake, but it is just also delicious plain. Serve slices with your favorite syrup or sauce, or top them with a dollop of whipped cream and more chocolate chips. The pancakes can be as decadent as you like!
How To Make Sheet Pan Pancakes
- Preheat the oven. Spray the sheet pan and line it with a sheet of parchment paper. Brush the paper with melted butter. This makes it easier to remove slices from the pan and leaves less mess.
- Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Whisk them well and then combine both mixtures. Whisk until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared sheet pan and place it in the preheated oven. Immediately reduce the heat and bake as directed.
- When the pancake is baked, give it a minute or two under the broiler if you want more color. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or serve it plain.
- Loosen the sides with a knife or spatula before slicing. Slice large pieces or slice them small and make a stack.
