Ingredients

This sheet pan banana pancake recipe comes together quickly with just a few basic ingredients, most of which are kitchen staples.

See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

• All-Purpose Flour: Provides structure; many options can be subbed here if desired.
• Granulated Sugar: Lightly sweetens the pancakes and balances the banana flavor.
• Baking Powder: Helps the batter rise into a soft, airy bake.
• Whole Milk: Adds richness and keeps the pancakes moist; any preferences will work here.
• Eggs: Bind the ingredients together and adds protein for a more balanced meal.
• Mashed Banana: Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
• Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and helps achieve that soft golden brown top; salted works well in this recipe too.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Rounds out the flavor and complements the banana.

For this recipe, you'll want to have on hand a large sheet pan, mixing bowl, whisk, spatula, measuring cups and spoons and a pancake flipper.

Variations

• Dairy-Free Alternative: Use almond milk or oat milk in place of whole milk if desired.
• Add-Ins: Stir in chocolate chips, berries, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. For a bit of a treat swirl in some light melted peanut butter or Nutella.
• Flour Swap: Use part oat flour for a heartier texture or a gluten-free blend if needed.
• Extra Fruit: Lightly press some banana slices or fresh fruit on top before baking.
• Fun Shapes: Use a cookie cutter after baking to make it fun for kids or brunch spreads.

How to Make Sheet Pan Banana Pancakes

This is the simplest way to make a big batch of pancakes in under 20 minutes - just whisk, pour and bake.

Preheat oven to 425F and spray a large sheet pan with non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add in the milk, beaten eggs, banana, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix well until there are no lumps.

Spread pancake batter evenly on prepared sheet pan and bake for 14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs from the center; the tops will just start to get a light golden color.

Slice into 12 portions (or as desired) and serve warm with your favorite pancake toppings.

Hint: Using room temperature ingredients can help the wet ingredients mix more evenly.

Recipe Tips

• Mix Until Combined: Avoid over-mixing the pancake batter for light, fluffy texture; mix just until there are no dry steaks.
• Spray the Pan Well: Ensuring you spray the pan well, or using parchment paper allows for the pancakes to come out clean without sticking.
• Spread an Even Layer: To make sure you have uniform baking across the whole sheet pan make sure they are spread evenly.
• Slice Before Serving: Cut into squares or fun shapes for individual servings right in the pan prior to serving.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container between sheets of parchment paper for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.
• Reheating: We love popping them in the toaster to warm them up. Alternatively, you can use the microwave or oven; drizzle some milk on them for added moisture.
