Easiest way to cook breakfast for a crowd or as a breakfast meal prep, these Sheet Pan Oven Baked Pancakes will definitely make mornings more delicious!
Meal Prepping Pancakes? On a Sheet Pan?
You are going to love these sheet pan oven baked pancakes! Why? Well 1, if you’ve got a crowd to feed for breakfast and don’t feel like babysitting pancakes on the stove top (I’ve burnt quite a few pancakes because I got distracted haha) and 2, these are great as a meal prep and it’s one less thing to worry about in the mornings once you’ve made a batch!
This pancake recipe took me five tries to get right, more than once the middle felt soggy due to my wet to dry ratio but I finally nailed it! It’s a little different than the pancake recipe I usually make on the stovetop since it’s thicker and in the oven, but I really wanted to make a sheet pan version since I wanted pancakes for breakfast this week but didn’t want to make it daily lol.
However, due to everyone’s oven being slightly different, I’d suggest keeping your eyes on the pancakes near the end of the cook time and double check if the pancakes are cooked through by poking it in the middle with a toothpick.
What You’ll Need To Make These Sheet Pan Pancakes
- flour
- baking powder
- milk
- greek yogurt – a protein bonus!
- eggs
- butter
- salt
- brown sugar
- vanilla extract
- add ins: I made 1/3 chocolate chip, 1/3 blueberries, and 1/3 a mix of both!
- a mixer and a 15″ sheet pan – you can hand mix this as well but my arms are weak lol
How To Make These Sheet Pan Pancakes Meal Prep
- Heat your oven to 415 degrees.
- In a mixer on low (you can also hand mix if you’d like), mix together your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar).
- Once mixed, slowly add in the wet ingredients as the mixer is on, starting with soften butter, milk, greek yogurt, vanilla extract, then eggs.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or butter/spray with non-stick then pour your mixed batter into the pan.
- Spread the mixture across the pan evenly with a spatula if needed then add your mix in of choice on top, I used blueberries and chocolate chips.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the oven then using a toothpick, check to see if the pancake has been cooked through, if not, cook for another 5 minutes.
- Let cool before cutting it and serving/freezing.
Tips and Tricks to Make the Perfect Meal Prep Pancakes + Freezer Instructions
- Do not add your fruit or nuts or whatever add ins you picked into the batter during the mixing stage. Make sure to add your add ins into the batter at the very end, this will ensure your add ins are distributed evenly.
- I use these glasslock containers to store my meal preps.
- These little leak proof containers are great for holding the maple syrup in the meal prep containers.
- Cook time may vary if you are using a different sized sheet pan.
- Make extra! These pancakes are freezer friendly – Place a sheet of wax paper between each pancake before stacking them together. Place them in an airtight container or large ziploc bag (pushing all the air out). To reheat: using a microwave, place the frozen pancakes on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave uncovered on high for about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until heated through. If you are worried about it drying out, you can microwave it in a bowl and cover the bowl with a damp towel.

December 20, 2018 at 12:50 pmLOVE this idea. With so many people to feed between now and New Year’s Day…I know this would be welcomed by all. What a fun way to make pancakes. Add some sausages and “breakfast for dinner” is served in no time. Happy Holidays!!

December 23, 2018 at 10:34 amBrilliant! This will truly be a game changer for me when the family is visiting. I always stand at the stove flipping those pancakes and miss out on just being with everyone. I am all about the simple sheet pan meal and can’t imagine why I never thought of this idea. Thank you and happy holidays.

December 23, 2018 at 11:36 amOh my gosh this just answered all of my pancake prayers! I LOVE pancakes but I hate how you can’t all eat them together without them kind of getting cold or have someone stuck at the stovetop cooking them! This is so great – thank you for your 5 tries to get it right!

December 24, 2018 at 8:29 amI love prepping breakfast for the week, because I absolutely hate the breakfast that is available in the freezer section of the store. What a great idea to make one half of the sheet pan one flavor, and the other a different one. My son adores pancakes so this will be a wonderful recipe to add into my mix.

December 24, 2018 at 9:56 amOh how fun are these?! New favorite pancake recipe here! I can actually make pancakes for a crowd and not stand over the stove, making pancakes for a crowd. This is sheer brilliance, and I love how simple and straightforward the recipe is…ingredients too! Thanks for the great recipe 🙂

December 26, 2018 at 10:54 amThis is such a perfect holiday breakfast for those busy mornings where you’re either getting ready to entertain for the day, or are getting ready to go visit a bunch of family, but still want to treat the fam to a special brekky! Christmas morning breakfast has always been a big deal in my family. When I was living in Canada, I’d make my parents omelettes. Now that I’ve moved away and am starting new traditions with my own family, I’m looking for ideas. And I love this one!

This looks so delicious and as we are always entertaining overnight guests, this is the perfect recipe to have in our arsenal. Printing this out now. Thanks for the awesome recipe and great inspiration. Superb!

December 28, 2018 at 10:06 pmWhere have sheet pan pancakes been all my life?!?!? These are amazing! I make breakfast every morning for my kids before school and they always request pancakes. However, I prize my sleep over the mom of the year award, so I rarely acquiesce to standing over the stove all morning. With these sheet pan pancakes however, I can quickly whip them up and cook them in almost as little time as making eggs and toast! Plus, they’re delicious!

January 1, 2019 at 6:01 pmThis is SUCH a great idea that I can’t believe I haven’t tried yet! It seems like no one gets to eat at the same time when we make regular pancakes. You can only make about 3 at a time! I’m totally into your way of making some chocolate chip and some blueberry too. So awesome!
