Make breakfast simple for your family or a large group with these fluffy sheet pan pancakes. You mix the batter, pour it onto a baking sheet, and bake—eliminating the need to stand over the stove flipping individual pancakes. This is a reliable, stress-free morning solution.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional additions: 1 cup blueberries or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a standard 13×18 inch rimmed baking sheet with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  5. If using, gently fold in your desired additions like blueberries or chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared sheet pan, spreading it to cover the bottom surface.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center springs back lightly when touched.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Slice the large pancake into squares immediately.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For meal prep, allow the pancakes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat slices in the toaster or microwave.
  • To customize, divide the batter in half before pouring. Add cinnamon sugar to one half and chocolate chips to the other half for two varieties in one pan.
  • If you prefer a thicker pancake, use a smaller 9×13 inch baking dish instead of a full sheet pan, and adjust the baking time slightly longer.
