  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 and 1/2 cups milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Chocolate chips
  • Thinly sliced strawberries
  • Thinly sliced ripe banana
  • Blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 12×17-inch half sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the beaten eggs and milk. Whisk gently until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan.
  6. Step 6: Divide the pan into four sections. Top one section with sliced strawberries, the next with banana slices, the third with chocolate chips, and the last with blueberries. Sprinkle the entire pan evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pancake has risen, is light golden on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Remove from the oven and slice into 24 squares, with each flavor getting about 6 pieces. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Tips & Variations

  • For a fluffier texture, separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them gently into the batter.
  • Swap out the fruit toppings with your favorites like raspberries, blackberries, or even chopped apples for variety.
  • Use flavored syrup or honey instead of maple syrup for a different twist.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend.

Storage

Store any leftover sheet pan pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual squares in the microwave for about 20 seconds or in a toaster oven until warmed through. This also works well for freezing—wrap portions tightly and freeze for up to 1 month, then thaw before reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Pancake Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Toppings

  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Chocolate chips
  • Thinly sliced strawberries

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 12×17-inch half sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside to keep the pancakes from sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and granulated sugar to evenly distribute the leavening agents and flavors.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients into Dry: Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the lightly beaten eggs and milk. Whisk these together until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then gently whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Pour Batter: Pour the pancake batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan, smoothing the surface slightly.
  5. Add Toppings: Divide the sheet pan into four sections and top each section separately with strawberry slices, banana slices, chocolate chips, and blueberries. Sprinkle the entire surface evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to help create a slight caramelized finish.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake batter has risen, the edges are lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut into 24 squares, providing six pieces for each topping flavor. Serve warm with maple syrup for drizzling.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings based on your preferences or what’s in season.
