A Baked Pancake like this amazing blueberry version are my favorite way of making pancakes. They’re delicious and so easy because there is no flipping pancakes required – perfect for quick mornings!
The Best Baked Pancake
This recipe only takes four steps: Whisk, Pour, Bake, Eat! These pancakes taste just like the classic recipe but they’re so much easier to make – no flipping, barely any tine. Slice and serve – they’re even great to-go!
This baked pancake is light and fluffy and the perfect blank canvas for your favorite pancake additions, like blueberries or chocolate chips. That classic flavor of pancake you expect in a portable square is just genius!
Ingredients Needed
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour.
- Blueberries: If you have them, use fresh blueberries. But you can also use thawed frozen blueberries or drained canned.
- Banana: I used an overripe banana that will be mixed into the milk for a bit of natural sweetness.
- Milk: Any kind of milk works – even nondairy milk.
Dietary Variations
- Make these gluten-free by using 1:1 All purpose gluten free flour.
- Make them dairy-free by using nondairy milk (like almond milk or oat milk).
- Swap the blueberries for any berry (like raspberry or strawberry) or even pecans, walnuts, or chocolate chips.
How to make Sheet Pan Pancakes
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Mash the banana and add milk to make the correct amount. (Alternately, omit the banana and just use all milk). Whisk the eggs, vanilla, and oil into the milk mixture.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Stir in blueberries and pour into prepared pan.
- Bake until it starts to get slightly golden around the edges and is no longer wet-looking in the center. It won’t get very brown on top.
Expert Tips
- You can use mini blueberries if you prefer those (they’re called wild blueberries and are sold frozen).
- If the sides are golden brown, but the top isn’t, that’s ok. This recipe has a lighter top.
- Let it cool before slicing.
- Serve with maple syrup, chocolate chips, whipped cream, or with fresh berries.
Storage & Freezing
- Store baked pancakes in the refrigerator. I like to cover the entire pan with plastic wrap or cut slices and wrap each individually for easy grab and go.
- Wrapped pancakes can also be frozen.

- Place a banana in a large measuring cup and mash it with a fork. Add milk, a little bit at a time, stirring it into the banana, until the level in the measuring cup is 1 2/3 cup total (milk and banana). You will need approximately 1 ⅓ cups milk, but possibly a bit more or a bit less.
- Whisk the eggs, vanilla, and oil into the milk mixture.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Stir in blueberries and pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, until it starts to get slightly golden around the edges and is no longer wet-looking in the center. It won’t get very brown on top. Cool slightly before serving with syrup.
Recipe Notes
- Banana: Be sure to use an overripe banana with lots of brown spots.
- Milk: You can use cow’s milk (any fat content) or non-dairy milk.
- Blueberries: You can use fresh or thawed frozen. If using frozen be sure to drain well.
- Eat warm, or slice and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Or place in ziploc baggies and freeze for up to 1 month. Great for reheating in the microwave for fast breakfasts!
