Ingredients

3 cups Kodiak Cakes buttermilk pancake and waffle mix
2 ¼ cups milk of choice
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
Toppings: fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a quarter sheet pan with cooking spray or a light dab of butter to ensure your pancakes don’t stick.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Kodiak pancake mix until no lumps remain.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil until well blended.
Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients in your first bowl. Make sure not to over-mix! A few lumps are perfectly okay; it keeps the pancakes fluffy.
Spread the batter evenly across the greased pan, then sprinkle your desired toppings directly onto the batter. Don’t be shy—this is where you have fun!
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown.
Once baked, cool them slightly before cutting into squares.

Tips for Perfect Sheet Pan Pancakes

Don’t Over-Mix: This is crucial! Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients. Over-mixing can lead to denser pancakes, and we definitely want them fluffy.
Choose the Right Pan: Make sure you use a quarter sheet pan for ideal thickness and cooking time. If your batter spreads too thin, they might dry out.
Check for Doneness: Ovens can be tricky. Check if your pancakes are done by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
Let Your Toppings Shine: Variety is the spice of life! Try different combinations of fruits or even nuts to keep things interesting.
Keep an Eye on the Clock: Baking too long can result in dry pancakes. Set a timer to make sure you pull them out at the right moment.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are a few variations to customize your Sheet Pan Pancakes:

Nutty Banana Pancakes: Add mashed bananas and chopped walnuts or pecans directly into the batter for a delightful flavor twist.
Chocolate Chip Delight: Stir in mini chocolate chips to the batter for a dessert-like treat that kids will drool over.
Vegan Option: Substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use almond or oat milk instead of regular milk.

FAQs about Sheet Pan Pancakes

Can I substitute Kodiak mix with regular pancake mix?
Absolutely! Your results may vary slightly in texture and taste, but any pancake mix will work. Just follow the package instructions for liquid measurements.

Why did my batter curdle?
Curdling can happen if the ingredients are at different temperatures. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature, and avoid pouring cold milk directly in.

Will it work if I reduce the sugar?
Yes! These pancakes can easily tolerate a reduction in sugar. Just keep in mind that they may taste less sweet, so consider adding more fruit or toppings to make up for it.
