BAKE PANCAKES IN SHEET PAN 

  1. Pour the pancake batter onto the prepared pan, spreading evenly. To each corner, sprinkle the chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, and bananas.

  2. Bake until lightly golden and cooked through. Cut and serve immediately.

TIPS FOR MAKING PANCAKES ON A SHEET PAN

  1. Use parchment paper for good safety. If you have a good sheet pan and grease it well, this should not be necessary because no pancakes will stick to the pan. However, the parchment paper will help if your pans are older or foods tend to stick to them.

  2. Try to avoid frozen fruits as toppings. While you can use any toppings you’d like, the idea of sectioning the sheet pan pancakes might get lost if the frozen fruit juices start to bleed into other non fruit sections.

  3. Make sure to spread evenly. Use the back of a spatula or lightly tap the sheet pan on the counter before popping it in the oven to remove any air bubbles and ensure even baking.

  4. Use the right size baking sheet. While testing this recipe, the result is to give you the same favorite fluffy pancake as if cooking in a pan, so the size of the baking sheet matters. If too small, the batter may overflow and not cook thoroughly. If too large, you’ll have a thin pancake that may overcook. So for the best fluffiest sheet pan pancakes, I recommend using a 13 by 18-inch rimmed baking pan.

  5. Don’t overmix. When whisking together the wet and dry ingredients, you want to combine them until it starts to come together, but you can still see small pea size lumps. If you continue to mix it past this part, gluten develops, resulting in a tough, chewy pancake instead of the ideal tender and fluffy pancake.
