Fluffy and with a slightly sweet, crisp top. They’re pancake perfection! And sure make a believer out of even the biggest skeptic.
Make Breakfast Magic in Minutes
I love making pancakes for breakfast, but some mornings, there just isn’t time to play short order cook! These sheet pan pancakes come together in minutes. Pour the batter onto a sheet pan, then right into the oven for the easiest, fluffiest pancakes you can imagine.
And they’re totally customizable! Bananas, chocolate chips, blueberries and strawberries–we love getting creative with our favorite toppings. There’s always a variety of pancake flavors to choose from.
What is a Sheet Pan?
A sheet pan is also sometimes called a baking pan, baking sheet or sometimes a rimmed cookie sheet, which is why it can be confusing. It’s usually a rectangular, flat aluminum pan with a rim around it.
Sheet pans come in a variety of sizes. I used a half sheet pan (17″x12″) in this recipe. They’re super versatile and no kitchen is complete without a few!
Note: A cookie sheet can be another pan entirely, because some, unlike a baking sheet, do not have a raised rim.
No Denying the Deliciousness!
Skeptical of a baked pancake? I was, too! But there’s no denying the deliciousness of this sheet pan pancake recipe!
I perfected the batter so it bakes up just like you expect a pancake to feel and taste. Fluffy. Just a little bit sweet. And ready to drizzle with maple syrup. You just have to try it!

Quick Tip: Don’t Over-Mix Pancake Batter
When making pancakes, it’s important not to over-mix the batter.
When the instructions say, “Whisk just until combined” it means, it’s okay to leave a few lumps. The lumps won’t show in cooked pancakes. But more importantly, mixing until you don’t see any lumps in the batter means you’re also breaking up the air bubbles that make your pancakes light and fluffy.
Over-mixing also activates the gluten in the flour, which can make your pancakes turn out rubbery and flat. And no one wants a flat, rubbery pancake!
How to Make Sheet Pan Pancakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 17×12-inch half sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Whisk to combine.
- Make a space in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs and milk. Whisk until just combined.
- Gently whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is well combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared sheet pan.
- Top a fourth of the pan with strawberry slices, a fourth with banana slices, a fourth with chocolate chips and another fourth with blueberries. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake has risen, is starting to turn light brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Slice into 24 squares (6 for each flavor) and serve warm with maple syrup.

To refrigerate leftover sheet pan pancakes, let them cool completely. Then stack them in an airtight container or baggie to store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
To freeze leftover pancakes, let them cool completely. Then stack them between sheets of parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe container or in individual freezer-safe baggies. Store in the freezer for up to two months.
To reheat: When ready to eat, place the slices in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for about 20 seconds (30 seconds from frozen) or until heated through. You could also reheat in the oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes (10 minutes from frozen) or until heated through.

Wonderful, so easy to make and taste fantastic.
Hi, Emily! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed them!
Can the batter be made the day before?
Hi Lynda! Yes, but I would let it set at room temperature before spreading in the sheet pan as it will become thick overnight in the refrigerator and will need some time to rest at room temperature so it’s spreadable and will bake fluffy. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Hi Rachel! Oh no, are you sure you measured the baking powder and baking soda accurately? And did you follow all of the other listed ingredients exactly?
Cooking for a homeless shelter. Can I use a quality pancake mix?
Hi, Brenda! Are you asking if pancake mix can be baked in a baking sheet? I haven’t tried it, but I can’t imagine why not.
I made these for the first time today and they did turn out a little dry. Any advice? Would buttermilk work instead of milk? I followed the directions in regards to not over mixing but maybe I still did over mix them. Thank you!
Hi Sarah! I wonder if you over baked them? Oven temperatures can certainly vary so yours might have baked all the way through sooner than directed. Next time, I would recommend checking it halfway through the baking time and watching it carefully from then on until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Buttermilk would work great as well! I hope it bakes up perfectly next time. Enjoy!
What is the NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION for these pancakes? Are they KETO? CARB-FREE? This is important to me before I spend time and money trying them out. Thank you.
Hi Carol! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online recipe nutrition calculator like: https://whisk.com/recipe-nutrition-calculator/ Hope this helps. Enjoy! ❤️
Hey there Carol. These are not keto.
Carol, this pancake recipe uses all purpose flour and sugar. That is not ‘KETO’ and both are considered a carbohydrate (not low carb). You would need to replace the flour with something like almond or coconut flour and the sugar with an alternative. This is a regular pancake recipe for oven baked instead of griddle.
