    Melted butter goes in the sweet, vanilla-flavored batter and gets brushed all over the top so these sheet pan pancakes bake up beautifully golden brown!  

    My sheet pan pancakes are also super customizable! They’re perfect as is, but you can also mix in or top the pancakes with your favorite pancake additions.

    You can even split the pancake into sections and let kids top their own section with their favorite topping!

    ❤️ Why You'll Love This Recipe!

    Super Fluffy! My simple recipe makes the fluffiest pancakes ever, in no time at all!  

    A Breakfast Classic! Pancakes are always a breakfast staple but baking them in a sheet pan makes them so much easier!  

    Easy to Make! Making pancakes has never been easier – they’re ready in just 15 minutes!

    🥘 Ingredients

    This easy sheet pan pancake uses kitchen staples to make a delicious breakfast! I love to keep ingredients like buttermilk on hand so I can make easy recipes like this one any day of the week!  

    Sheetpan pancakes ingredients with labels.
    • ½ cup Butter – This is equal to 1 stick of butter. Divide the butter into 3 portions: 1 tablespoon, 2 tablespoons, and 5 tablespoons. The 2 tablespoon and 5 tablespoon portions of butter should be melted.
    • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour – Be sure to use AP flour here, not cake flour or self-rising flour.
    • ⅓ cup Confectioner’s Sugar – Confectioner’s sugar blends into the batter more evenly than granulated sugar!
    •  ⅔ cup Cornstarch – Cornstarch gives extra structure to the pancake so it’s able to be easily sliced.
    • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder – Use baking powder here to help the pancake rise nice and fluffy!
    • ¼ teaspoon Salt – Use any salt you have on hand!
    • 2 large Eggs – Bring the eggs to room temperature before adding to the pancake batter.
    • 2 cups Buttermilk – Buttermilk gives the pancake a tender, fine crumb, and extra flavor. In a pinch, you can use regular milk with lemon juice added to it.
    • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract – Use 100% vanilla extract to give your pancake the best vanilla flavor!

    These pancakes are great on their own, but you can always incorporate your favorite additions! Add in ½ - 1 cup of any of your favorites, including:  

    Chocolate Chips – Add semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks for a delicious chocolatey twist!  

    Banana – Banana is one of my all-time favorite ways to eat pancakes! Use mashed, extra ripe, well-spotted bananas for the batter.  

    Blueberries – Who doesn’t love blueberry pancakes? You can add fresh blueberries or my delicious blueberry pie filling for extra amazing blueberry flavor!  

    Pumpkin – Canned pumpkin purée or pumpkin pie filling is perfect for the fall! Bonus points if you add a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to the batter!    

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    An 18x13-inch baking sheet is what makes these sheet pan pancakes so easy! Be sure to butter and line your sheet pan so your pancakes don’t stick!   

    • Process photo 1 add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
      1
    • Process photo 3 combine wet ingredients in large liquid measuring cup.
      2
    • Process photo 3 add wet ingredients to whisked dry ingredients.
      3
    • Process photo 4 mix until just combined but do not over-mix.
      4
    1. Prepare. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (215°C). Then, line a rimmed baking sheet (half-sheet size, or 18x13”) with parchment paper and grease with the first 1 tablespoon of butter!
    2. Mix dry ingredients. As the oven is preheating, combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, including 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup confectioner’s sugar, ⅔ cup of cornstarch, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Whisk until well-mixed.
    3. Mix wet ingredients. Next, in a large measuring cup or jug, combine all the wet ingredients: 2 large, room temperature eggs, 2 cups of buttermilk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and the 5-tablespoon portion of melted butter. Once mixed, whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients (*see note).

    Transfer, Bake & Serve

    • Process photo 5 transfer the batter onto greased parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

    • Process photo 6 brush melted butter onto baked pancake.

    1. Transfer. Once the mixture is well-combined, transfer the batter to your prepared baking sheet and smooth the top with a spatula.
    2. Bake the sheet pan pancake. Place the sheet pan on the center of your middle rack in your oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, at the 5-minute mark, use a finger to check if the center of the pancake is springy to the touch.
    3. Brown pancake under broiler. When your pancake is springy to the touch, remove it from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Next, carefully brush your baked pancake with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and place it under the broiler. Then, rotate the sheet pan and watch the pancake closely until it’s golden brown and remove from the oven. Cut into even pieces and serve immediately!

    Fluffy, buttery sheet pan pancakes are the easiest way to feed a crowd! I recommend serving these pancakes with extra pats of butter and lots of maple syrup.

    You can also serve along with your favorite breakfast sides like bacon, sausage, or eggs! Enjoy!    

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Do not over-mix the pancake batter! If the batter is over mixed, you’ll have dense, tough pancakes. You just want to mix until you see the dry spots gone from the batter.
    • Forgot to take your eggs out ahead of time? To quickly bring them to room temperature, place the eggs in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes prior to using. Warm the eggs only enough to take off the chill – you don’t want them to be hot!
    • Score the pancakes before cutting into pieces! I like to score the pancakes into an even grid before cutting all the way through to ensure I have even pieces.
    • If your broiler heats unevenly, rotate the sheetpan pancakes while browning. While you’re watching the pancake brown, turn the pancake every minute or so to ensure the top of the pancake is evenly golden brown.

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    These fluffy pancakes can be easily stored by wrapping cooled pancake slices in plastic cling film or transferring the slices to an airtight container. The pancakes will keep in your fridge for up to 5 days.    

    Freezing

    If you’d like to extend the shelf life of your pancakes, you can wrap the slices in plastic cling film, then transfer to a freezer safe, airtight container, or a heavy-duty storage bag. They will keep for about 3 months that way.

    You can easily reheat from frozen!    

    Reheating Pan Sheet Pancakes

    To reheat the pancakes, you can easily reheat the individual slices right in your microwave! Place pancakes onto a plate, then cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave the pancake slices for 30-second intervals, or until warmed through. You can reheat the pancakes from frozen, but you may need to heat in microwave for slightly longer.

    ❓ FAQ

    Can pancake batter be made in a blender?

    Sure! To make this easy batter even easier, add the wet ingredients in a blender and pulse until well-blended. Then, add the dry ingredients and pulse a few times until just combined (but do not over-mix or your pancakes will be dense and dry).

    Do I have to broil the pancake?

    I highly recommend brushing the pancake with melted butter and broiling to give the top a beautiful golden-brown color! If you don’t broil the pancake, the top will likely be too pale.
    You don’t want to bake the pancake for too long either, as it can dry the pancake out. Broiling gives the top a great color without overcooking the pancakes!
