I love breakfast, it has to be one of my favorite meals of the day. I also love breakfast hacks which means that I like it when I can do something a little quicker and easier than normal.
These Sheet Pan Pancakes have been a saving grace for my family. Sometimes I really just don’t like sitting around and flipping pancakes one by one and with these, you don’t!
You simply mix, pour, bake, cut, and top with any of your favorite toppings! How much easier can you get than that? Now don’t get me wrong I still do love a regular pancake, but this just saves me time when I’m in a hurry.
This makes a large serving so if you have a hungry family, then these are the perfect option for you! And they come out perfect every time, which I love because regular pancakes can be tricky at times.

DO I HAVE TO USE BUTTERMILK?
We really encourage buttermilk in this recipe as it tastes so much better and makes them the texture that we want, but essentially you can use another milk.
Another thing that you can do is make your own buttermilk, super simple. For this recipe it calls for 2 cups of buttermilk, what you will want to do is for each cup add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice, stir, and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
When the time is up, stir again so everything is combined and then you have your own homemade buttermilk. It is a super easy hack when you don’t have buttermilk on hand at home.
WHAT SIZE SHEET TRAY DO I USE?
For this recipe, we used an 11×17-inch sheet tray. You will want to use that size because of how this will rise, anything smaller and you might run the risk of it overflowing.
WHAT MIX-INS AND TOPPINGS CAN I USE?
This is the fun part! There are so many different things that can make these Sheet Pan Pancakes stand out and make them your own. Some of our favorite mix-ins and toppings include:

HOW TO STORE:
