Ingredient Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Pancakes
To make sure your Sheet Pan Pancakes (Blueberry + Fun Toppings) turn out fluffy and bakery-style, keep these quick tips in mind:
Use Whole Milk
Whole milk makes the batter richer and gives you that soft, tender pancake bite. You can use 2% or almond milk, but the texture won’t be quite as plush.
Melted Butter = Better Flavor
Butter adds richness and gives the pancakes a warm, classic flavor you can’t get from oil.
Don’t Skip Vanilla
Vanilla is what makes pancakes taste like “breakfast dessert” in the best way.
Fresh vs Frozen Blueberries
Both work.
-
Fresh blueberries: less bleeding, more juicy pop
-
Frozen blueberries: convenient, but may turn the batter a little purple (still delicious!)
How to Make Sheet Pan Pancakes (Step-by-Step)
1) Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spray a 9×13 rimmed sheet pan generously with nonstick spray—especially corners and edges. This helps prevent sticking and gives you those golden crispy edges.
✅ Optional: line with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup.
2) Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl whisk together:
-
flour
-
brown sugar
-
granulated sugar
-
baking powder
-
salt
Whisking helps distribute the baking powder evenly so you don’t get uneven rise.
3) Add Wet Ingredients
Add:
-
eggs
-
milk
-
melted butter
-
vanilla
Whisk until smooth.
⚠️ Do not overmix. A few small lumps are totally fine. Overmixing creates tough pancakes.
4) Pour Into Sheet Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to spread batter evenly and remove air bubbles.
5) Add Toppings in Sections
This is the fun part.
Imagine your batter divided into 4 sections:
🍓 Strawberry Jam Swirl
-
Dollop warm jam
-
Swirl with toothpick or knife
-
Top with sliced strawberries
🫐 Blueberry
-
Sprinkle blueberries evenly across one section
🍫 Chocolate Chip
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips
🍯 Cinnamon Sugar Swirl
Mix:
-
melted butter + brown sugar + cinnamon
Then dollop and swirl lightly across the section.
6) Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until:
-
center springs back when lightly touched
-
toothpick comes out clean
7) Slice and Serve
Cool 1–2 minutes, then slice into squares and serve with:
-
maple syrup
-
butter
-
powdered sugar
Your kitchen will smell like a pancake shop. 😍
How to Know When Sheet Pan Pancakes Are Done
Because these are thicker than regular pancakes, don’t rely only on color.
✅ Look for:
-
center no longer wet
-
edges lightly golden
-
top set and bouncy
If your pan is darker metal, check at 14–15 minutes because it can bake faster.

Want your Sheet Pan Pancakes (Blueberry + Fun Toppings) extra thick and fluffy? Do these 5 things:
-
Don’t overmix (this is #1!)
-
Let batter rest 5 minutes before baking
-
