Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Flour and baking powder - We used self raising flour and then some added baking powder to make these sheet pan pancakes really fluffy.
- Milk - Any milk will work for this sheet pan pancakes recipe.
- Eggs - Use medium sized eggs. Large eggs would change the mixture.
- Vanilla - Make sure you are using vanilla extract and not essence as it has a natural flavour.
- Maple syrup - You could use honey instead.
- Toppings - We added banana, strawberries, chocolate chips and blueberries, but we have options for other toppings below.
Variations
Berry Medley Pancakes: Add a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries to the batter before baking. We wouldn't recomment using frozen berries, because the juices will run into the mixture when cooking.
Banana Nut Pancakes: Top with banana slices and chopped walnuts or pecans for a deliciously nutty flavour.
Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: Mix 0.25 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter for a sweet, spiced twist.
Protein: Why not add half a scoop of protein powder into the mixture to give the pan pancakes a protein boost?
Nutella: Why not make our Healthy Homemade Nutella and add a swirl into these.
How To Make Sheet Pan Pancakes - Step by Step
Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, vanilla and maple syrup.
- Step 2: Whisk to form a smooth batter.
- Step 3: Pour the mixture into the lined baking tray and smooth into an even layer.
- Step 4: Add all the toppings, either mixed up, or put each one in a quarter, like we have done.
- Step 5: Put in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Sheet Pan Pancakes Serving Suggestions
Classic: Serve with melted butter and maple syrup.
Fruit and Yogurt: Top with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey.
Savoury Twist: Add cooked bacon bits or sausage crumbles to the batter and serve with a side of scrambled eggs.
Dessert Style: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent treat.
Extra Tips
- Make Ahead: Prepare the pancake batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, pour it into the sheet pan and bake.
- Freezing: These pancakes freeze well. Cut into squares and freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- You can add a pinch of salt to the mixture to bring out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Don't over mix the batter. Over-mixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the pancakes rubbery instead of soft and fluffy.

Can I substitute with gluten free buckwheat flour? Would I need to adjust the baking powder?
Dannii Martin says
I haven't tried it myself, but my experience from using gluten free flour in other recipes is that you need about 0.5-1tsp of baking powder extra and sometimes need extra liquid because absorbs more liquid. If you do try it, please come back and let us know.
