Ingredients you need for easy sheet pan pancakes

• Your favorite box mix of pancakes. I love the Buttermilk Kodiac pancake mix because it tastes great with the bonus of being whole grain and a good source of protein.
• Toppings – Today I’m sharing a pineapple upside down cake version so we’re using fresh pineapple rings and frozen cherries, with a sauce made from maple syrup, pineapple juice and vanilla extract. Scroll down for other different flavors and combinations.
• Neutral cooking spray

Tools you need for this easy recipe

• Sheet pan – I have used a 1/4 sheet pan or a 1/2 sheet pan. Just depends on how large your batch of pancakes will be, as well as the size of your oven.
• Parchment paper for easy removal.

My favorite toppings for pancake batter

Once they’re cooked you can top with vanilla yogurt, warm maple syrup, berry compote or powdered sugar. Whether you serve with fresh fruit, eggs, sausage or bacon, it’ll be a tasty breakfast for everyone.

Tips for how to make these oven-baked pancakes

1. Make sure the oven is hot. Preheat 400 degree F oven. They need about 11minutes to turn golden brown.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine all of the dry ingredients, and add the wet. Don’t over mix.
3. Prepare your pan with nonstick spray AND line with parchment paper. This will ensure your tasty pancakes make it out of the pan without a hitch.
4. Use a sharp serrated knife or a pizza cutter to cut your pancakes into enough servings for the whole family.
5. Use a thin, wide spatula to get them out of the pan. I love using my fish spatula for this, it’s the easiest way.
6. Any pancake recipe will work for this. Just be sure to pour batter down the center of the pan and use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly towards the four corners of the pan.
7. Have your different toppings ready. You can even accommodate a few different combinations if you need to! Just have everything cut up and ready.

If you have leftover pancakes, store them in an airtight container and reheat in the toaster oven. My picky eaters loved these pancakes so much, they asked to have them for dessert with a bit of whipped cream 🙂
