Why Sheet Pan Pancakes (using pancake mix) are the Perfect Breakfast Solution

If you're looking for an easy and delicious breakfast idea that can feed a large group of people, sheet pan pancakes are the perfect solution. Here’s why they’re a favorite of ours. 

• They're super easy. Instead of standing over a hot stove flipping individual pancakes, you can make an entire batch of pancakes at once in the oven, making these flapjacks mostly hands-off. Plus, with a sheet pan, you don't have to worry about pancake batter spilling over the edges of your skillet. Less mess and less fuss? Already sold.
• Quick. No joke, these oven-baked pancakes can be made in 15 minutes. The prep is almost zero and then everything just cooks at once in the oven. 
• Customizable. I love making the base of these sheet pan pancakes from a storebought pancake mix, but after that, the sky's the limit. You can add whatever your heart desires to these delicious sheet pan pancakes. Fruit, chocolate, bacon, cheese - the choices are endless. And, because you make everything in a large sheet pan, you can even section off portions of the pan for specific ingredients if you have picky eaters on your hands. 
• You can make them ahead of time.  While you wouldn’t want to make the pancake batter too far ahead, you could make the entire batch of sheet pan pancakes from mix ahead of time and just heat it quickly in the microwave before serving.  
• Great for a crowd. This dish is a great option when you’re feeding a group of people. After all, no one wants to be standing over a hot stove all morning when you have company! We love serving them with this easy oven-baked bacon and creamy scrambled eggs. 
• They freeze really well. You know those mornings when you’re trying to rush out the door and need something quick? Sheet pan pancakes to the rescue! Just take them from the freezer straight to the microwave for a quick and tasty start to your morning. 

Key Ingredients

To make easy pan pancakes, you'll need a few basic ingredients:

• Pancake mix. You can use any type of pancake mix you like, but I love Kodiak Cakes. This mix is made with whole grains and has a delicious, nutty flavor. Plus, Kodiak pancake mix is loaded with protein. Using milk and eggs as your mix-ins, you’ll get a whopping 18 grams of protein per serving. This makes me feel just a little bit less guilty about indulging in pancakes for breakfast. 
• Eggs. Eggs will help bind the pancake batter together and make it fluffy.
• Milk. Milk adds moisture to the pancake batter and helps the pancakes cook evenly.
• Oil or butter. You'll need a little oil or butter to grease the sheet pan and prevent the pancakes from sticking.
• Toppings/Add-ins. You can use any toppings you like, such as fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts. I used strawberries, blueberries, and chocolate chips.

How To Make Baked Pancakes From Kodiak Mix

Here's a step-by-step guide for making these sheet pan pancakes from mix:

1. Grease Your Pan. Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease a 13x18 inch sheet pan with cooking spray or melted butter. (Tip - if using butter, just place it directly on your pan and pop your pan into the preheating oven for a few minutes. The butter will melt perfectly and you can just swirl it around a bit to coat the pan. If using this method, just be sure to watch it closely and take it out before the butter burns!)
2. Whisk. In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, eggs, and milk, until well combined.
3. Spread. Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
4. Add some toppings. Add your toppings to the pancake batter. (I used blueberries, strawberries, and a few chocolate chips.) Just sprinkle these add-ins directly over the batter after you’ve spread it into the sheet pan. 
5. Bake. Bake the pancakes in the oven for about 12 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Cut and serve. To serve, cut the pancakes into squares and serve with your favorite toppings.

Hint: Keep an eye on the pancakes and don't overcook them! You'll know they're done when you can place a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.

Customize Your Pancakes With Delicious Add-Ins!

One of the best things about sheet pan pancakes is that you can customize them with any toppings and add-ins you like. Just add these ingredients right into the batter on the sheet pan before baking the pancakes in the oven. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Fresh fruit. Add sliced strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or any other fruit you like to your pancakes. You can even mix different fruits together for a colorful and flavorful breakfast.
• Chocolate chips. Who doesn't love chocolate for breakfast? Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of your pancake batter before baking for a decadent treat.
• Nuts. Add some crunch to your pancakes by sprinkling chopped nuts on top. Pecans, walnuts, and almonds all work well.
• Bacon. If you like savory breakfasts, try adding crumbled bacon to your pancakes. The salty flavor pairs perfectly with sweet maple syrup.
• Cheese. Yes - you heard it hear first! Cheesy pancakes are great when you don’t want something overly sweet. Add that bacon to them and you’ve got a winner!

You can also experiment with different pancake mix flavors to create unique and delicious pancakes. For example, try using a cinnamon-flavored mix for a cozy fall breakfast or a chocolate-flavored mix for a special

Benefits of Making Sheet Pan Pancakes With Pancake Mix

You may be asking yourself why making sheet pan pancakes from a mix is so great.  Well, let me share a few reasons:

• Pancake mix makes the process of making pancakes soooo much easier and quicker. With pancake mix, you don't have to worry about measuring out flour, sugar, baking powder, and other ingredients. Instead, all you have to do is add a few simple ingredients like eggs and milk, and you're good to go. It’s a total time saver!
• In addition to being easy, pancake mix can also add extra flavor and nutrition to your pancakes. Many high-quality pancake mixes like Kodiak Cakes are made with whole grains, which means that they are a good source of fiber and other nutrients. In the case of Kodiak Cakes, the mix also contains more protein than you would find in a typical pancake mix. Plus, these mixes often include delicious flavorings like vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg, which can make your pancakes taste even better.
• Finally, using pancake mix can be more cost-effective than making pancakes from scratch. While a box of pancake mix may seem more expensive than buying flour and other ingredients separately, you'll likely end up saving money in the long run. This is because pancake mixes often include all the ingredients you need for pancakes, so you won't have to buy each ingredient separately.

Tips For Making Perfect Sheet Pan Pancakes

Making these oven-baked sheet pan pancakes is easy, but there are a few tips you should keep in mind to ensure that they turn out perfect every time. 

• Grease your pan. First, make sure that your pan is well-greased with cooking spray or butter to prevent the pancakes from sticking. You can also line the sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Spread the batter evenly. Second, be sure to spread the pancake batter out evenly on the sheet pan. This will ensure that the pancakes cook evenly and are the same thickness. If your batter is too thick to spread easily, you can add a little extra water to thin it out.
• Don’t overcook! Don't overcook your pancakes. The sheet pan pancakes should be golden brown and cooked through, but not dry or burnt. Keep an eye on them in the oven and take them out as soon as they're done.
• Section off your pancakes! Have some picky eaters in your group? Making pancakes this way allows you to customize them for everyone by only adding specific toppings to certain sections of the batter in the pan!

Jazzing Up Your Boxed Pancake Mix

If you want to add some extra pizzazz to your pancakes made from mix, there are plenty of ways to do it! One of the easiest ways is to add some mix-ins to your batter. You can add anything from chocolate chips or blueberries to nuts or shredded coconut. Simply fold these ingredients into your pancake batter before pouring it onto your sheet pan, and you'll have a deliciously unique breakfast.

Don’t forget about spices!  Adding a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the taste of your pancakes, depending on the flavor you’re after. 

Of course, another way to jazz up pancake mix is to experiment with different toppings. While traditional toppings like butter and syrup are always a hit, you can get creative by trying out different fruit compotes or spreads like Nutella or peanut butter. You can also sprinkle toppings like powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or even bacon bits on top of your pancakes to add extra flavor and texture.

Don't be afraid to get creative with your pancake mix and try out new flavor combinations. With a little bit of experimentation, you can turn a simple box of pancake mix into a breakfast masterpiece that your whole family will love.
