Sheet Pan Pancakes
Soft and fluffy sheet pan pancakes baked with mini chocolate chips—an easy, crowd-friendly breakfast with no flipping.
Sheet pan pancakes are the perfect solution for busy mornings or feeding a crowd. Instead of standing over the stove flipping batch after batch, the entire pancake batter bakes at once in the oven. The result is soft, fluffy pancakes with a golden top that you can slice and serve just like a sheet cake.
The mini chocolate chips melt into the warm batter, giving you little pockets of chocolate in every bite. Serve the slices stacked with syrup, honey, or whipped cream for a fun and ultra-easy breakfast everyone will love.
Ingredient Notes
- Melted butter: Adds richness and helps the pancake brown.
- All-purpose flour: Provides structure and keeps the pancake tender.
- Baking powder: Ensures a light, fluffy rise in the oven.
- Brown sugar: Adds moisture and a hint of caramel sweetness.
- Milk: Creates a smooth, pourable batter.
- Eggs: Bind the pancake and contribute to lift.
- Vanilla extract: Adds warm sweetness.
- Mini chocolate chips: Disperse evenly so every slice has chocolate.

Chocolate Chip Sheet Pan Pancakes
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted, divided use
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, 13 1/2 ounces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500 F. Line a half-sheet pan (approximately 18-by-13-by-1-inch) with parchment paper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Brush the butter to coat the paper and sides of the pan. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and brown sugar. Whisk or stir to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl; whisk the milk, eggs, remaining melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and place it in the oven. Immediately reduce the heat to 425 F and bake for 8 minutes; rotate the pan and continue to bake for 9 to 10 minutes longer, or until lightly browned. If desired, turn the broiler on and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the top crust. Remove the pancake to a rack and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Slice and serve the pancake with syrup, whipped cream, or honey. Enjoy!
