Sheet PANcakes
Hello all! I am coming at you with three breakfasts we have been batch making lately over the next few weeks. First up on the list: sheet PANcakes.
I use the Kodiak Cakes mix (great price at @Costco!) and this is so much faster and yields more than making a batch of pancakes. Also they are somehow fluffier!? Maybe from my not flipping them so much.
YOU WILL NEED:
- 3 cups pancake mix
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 2 eggs (could add a 3rd egg if you want)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Optional: whatever you want to add in; we do 1/2 frozen blueberries and 1/2 mini chocolate chips
TO MAKE:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Grab a sheet pan, mine is a half sheet size and I like to line with parchment (less clean up!)
- Pour batter in and spread it and add any mix-ins
- Bake for 12 minutes, give or take depending on your oven. You can tell they are done once middle no longer raw.
- Let cool then cut with a plastic knife.
- Store in fridge separated by parchment (I use the same parchment I baked them on!) for up to 10 days or freeze (again, separated with parchment so they all don’t stick together).
- To reheat: microwave a square for 30 seconds (longer if frozen)
They reheat beautifully! We just stick a square in the microwave for 30 seconds (longer if frozen). Voila!

I shared this on Instagram and got some great comments with tips from others who have tried this method as well. @mrs_gluntz shared: “Also great to pop in the toaster for on the go. I also add the syrup TO THE BATTER for no-mess handling!” I admit I want to try this but I wonder if my kids would still need syrup on top.
What are your favorite ways to jazz up sheet pancakes? Or, batch make other breakfast options? I would love to hear what’s worked well for your family!
Just made these and I’m officially obsessed. So. Good.
These are absolutely delicious and so easy to make! I love the plastic knife hack. Thank you Kate
Such a game changer! Thanks, Colleen!
Came here to print out to tape to my Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry container with the pancake mix in it. I feel like both the printing of recipes, the containers and the recipe are all influenced by you. I add a drizzle of pure maple syrup to the batter and cut with a pizza cutter into big rectangles, and the kids eat them in the car. No sticky in my car! They love the blueberry Kodiak cake flavor. But seriously, I don’t cut pizza with my pizza cutter, I cut up pancakes and that type of stuff with it. Easy to cut into bite sized pieces with it too for littles. Just sharing that tip! Love your account and your heart! <3
Oh this made my day to read. I’m SO honored! Thank you, Kalynne! Also genius about putting maple syrup in the pancake mix so they can eat it on the go!
I made these and they are absolutely amazing. The texture is like a brownie! I even used a homemade dry pancake mix instead of the Kodiak and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
Yes!! So glad they turned out perfectly for you!
Could I sub my own pancake mix ?
Yes should work just the same!
These are so easy to make and even better, they were a HUGE hit with my picky eaters! I never doubt a hack or recipe you share…this is one of many I have tried. Thank you so always bringing such awesome content to the gram!
Thank you so much, Katy!!
I came here looking for a PANcake recipe made with real ingredients that I already have like flour, butter, sugar etc. guess I have to buy some pancake mix 😕
Sorry! Use whatever your preferred pancake recipe is and it should work the same.
Are milk and egg added even with a “add only water” mix??
Follow the box directions!
I have a child with egg allergy. Could I omit the eggs and just make the directions on the box of Kodiak mix? Would they still come out the same?
YES!
Oh man, was this good!! I didn’t have Kodiak on hand, but I used my usual buttermilk pancake recipe and adjusted it so that I had three cups of flour (I use half almond and half whole wheat for a little extra protein), three eggs, and 2.5 cups of buttermilk (and all the related ingredients, like baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, and oil). While I was stirring the batter, I stuck the sheet pan in the hot oven with a couple tablespoons of butter, then sloshed the melted butter all over the pan before pouring in my batter. SO MUCH BETTER AND SO MUCH EASIER than traditional pancakes. My kids have requested that I only always make these now, and I don’t mind one bit. Thanks, Kate!!!
Sounds incredible! I love how you put the pan in the oven to preheat with melted butter first. Smart!
I just made these for my daughter and three friends who were here for a sleepover. They were so easy, and so good! Thank you!
So genius! The whole family loved them, and I loved not being stuck flipping pancakes during all of breakfast. Used Kodiak mix but planning to try a homemade pancake recipe next time to see how that goes.
You’re a wizard, Kate! These are perfect! We’ve made these twice recently, and they’re definitely going into the regular summer rotation. Thank you!
I am SO glad yall are loving these as much as our family is!
Would I double this recipe if using a full sheet?
yes!
Must made these and I will never make pancakes the old fashioned way again. So quick and delicious. I make my pancakes in bulk so this is truly a game changer for me. I used a pizza cutter and it worked perfectly.
Made these tonight for dinner and they were a hit! Half chocolate chip, half diced cinnamon apples.
Made these this morning. GAME CHANGER!!
I make these almost weekly now! And I can’t believe it took me this long to figure out, but I now make a batch of Kodiak cake muffins according to the box and while they are baking, I get the sheet pancakes ready. I don’t wash the dishes in between because they use practically the same ingredients. I freeze most of it and have breakfast for at least a week for the kids. And I only do dishes, use the oven, and clean up once.
Batching these together is genius!!
I tried this recipe today, but I had the plant-based Kodiak mix since the store was out of regular. It started to burn on the outside while staying raw and doughy on the inside. Might try again another time, but it was so disappointing (especially for my kid who helped me make them). Wasted a whole bunch of good chocolate chips.
Oh no I am so sorry, we have never had this issue! Must be the plant based version difference. Maybe you could try covering with foil when you notice it is browning too early and cook for 5-10 minutes more
Can you replace the milk with water?
Thanks!
Yes!
I turned my mom on to this great recipe, we both use the Kodiak mix. Then, she turned me on to a variation that I absolutely love. We add the zest of one orange into the batter. We juice that same orange into a small saucepan and stew 1/2 cup of craisins over low heat. Once the craisins soak up the juice, pour them into the batter. I also like to add 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup in the batter. The orange cranberry flavor is soooo good in these pancake bars.
Stop it that sounds dreamy!
I should have mentioned that my orange and craisin add-in amounts are for a half batch of the sheet pancakes. It’s just my husband and me so I only make half a batch at a time.
Oh thank you for the follow up!
