Ingredients You’ll Need

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour: This is the base for our pancake batter. It provides structure and fluffiness. For a gluten-free option, try using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
1 tablespoon baking powder: This key ingredient helps the pancakes rise, resulting in a light texture.
1/4 teaspoon salt: Just a touch enhances the sweet flavors in the pancakes.
3 tablespoons granulated sugar: It adds a hint of sweetness. If you prefer, you can substitute with coconut sugar.
2 cups unsweetened soy milk or other plant milk: This keeps the pancakes moist and fluffy. Almond or oat milk works perfectly, too!
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar: This adds a subtle tang and works with the baking powder for extra fluffiness.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla brings a lovely warmth to the batter.
4 tablespoons melted vegan butter or vegetable oil: This fat keeps our pancakes tender. If you’re looking for a unique flavor, coconut oil is a great alternative.
Vegan chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, bananas + drizzle of peanut butter/vegan Nutella, rainbow sprinkles: These are for toppings! Feel free to mix and match according to your cravings.
Vegan butter and syrup, for serving: A must-have for drizzling on top of your pancakes!

How to Make Sheet Pan Pancakes

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. While it heats, grease a large rimmed baking sheet (11×17 inches is ideal, but 10×15 or even 13×18 will work).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the 2 cups unsweetened soy milk, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons melted vegan butter until evenly blended.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a large spoon just until combined. Remember, it’s okay if there are some lumps; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
Spread the Batter: Pour the pancake batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle your chosen toppings onto the batter. You can get creative here – one section can be chocolate chip, another filled with blueberries, or even a colorful area studded with rainbow sprinkles!
Bake: Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. You’ll know they are ready when they turn a lovely golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Serve: Slice into squares and serve immediately with vegan butter and maple syrup for that perfect finish.

Storing & Reheating

To store any leftover pancakes, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for about 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, pop them in the freezer, laying them flat in a single layer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through. A little drizzle of syrup or fresh fruit can refresh their flavor!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure that your pancakes remain fluffy.
Use room temperature ingredients for best results, especially the soy milk, which makes mixing easier.
If you want to make a big batch ahead of time, the batter can sit in the fridge for a few hours. Just give it a gentle mix before pouring it into the baking sheet.
If you find your pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature slightly and extend the baking time.
For best texture, let the baked pancakes cool slightly before slicing; this will help them hold together better.

These sheet pan pancakes are not only a wonderful morning treat but a perfect canvas for creativity. You can really experiment with flavors and toppings! The next time you’re in the mood for something cozy and comforting, think of this easy, shareable recipe.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that the baking powder is also gluten-free and you’ll have a delicious alternative.

What should I do if my pancake batter is too thick?

If you find your batter is too thick, feel free to add a little more plant milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. It should be pourable but thick enough to hold its shape.

Can I prepare the batter the night before?

Yes! You can mix the wet and dry ingredients separately and store them in the refrigerator. Combine them just before you’re ready to bake – this way, you’ll have fresh pancakes in no time!

What toppings do you recommend?

The sky’s the limit! Chocolate chips, bananas, blueberries, and a drizzle of peanut butter are favorites, but feel free to let your imagination run wild. For a festive touch, sprinkles are always a hit, especially among kids!

Now, gather your family and friends, because these shareable sheet pan pancakes are about to become your new breakfast favorite. Enjoy experimenting with toppings and make this recipe your own!
