Easy Sheet Pan Oat Pancakes

Sheet Pan Oat Pancakes - love pancakes but hate the flipping and standing at the stove? These easy sheet pan oat pancakes with berries and banana is the perfect effortless breakfast.

Sheet Pan Pancakes

Ever since I posted my American Style Oat Pancakes back in 2009, they have been a regular feature for breakfast among many of you. Light, fluffy and delicious. My family actually enjoy these over regular pancakes now.

However sometimes in the morning, especially if you are tired, the last thing you want is to have to stand at the stove and flip pancakes and that's where these Sheet Pan pancakes are perfect. Just mix up the batter, add in the fruit, bake, slice and it's done and they really are delicious. You can even blend the oats the night before, so everything is all ready to just mix in the morning and bake.

Blending the Oats

To blend the oats for the batter, you can use any kind of blender, nothing fancy is needed. So whether you have a counter top blender or just one of those handy stick blenders, both will work fine to grind up the oats for the pancakes mix.

Can I use Ready Brek?

Ready Brek might seem like a quicker option if you don't have a blender or want to try and save more time. But I don't recommend it personally.

Why? I have tried it before for my American Style Pancakes and my family just don't like the final result or taste with Ready Brek and there are a few reasons for this.

It's easy to assume ready brek is the same as blended oats, but it actually isn't. Ready Brek is a processed oat cereal made from oats, oat flour and fortified vitamins. If you have ever eaten a bowl of ready brek and a bowl of oats and compared, I can assure they they do not taste the same. Also because of how processed ready brek is, it actually weighs less than oats, so if you weigh out 40g of oats and 40g of ready brek, the Ready brek has more volume and will therefore mess up the ratio of other ingredients.

So with that in mind, use it if you must, but just be aware that for best results I recommend using rolled oats as per the recipe.

Fruit for Sheet Pancakes

For these Sheet Pan Pancakes I used a mixture of banana and frozen berries which was just the perfect combination.

However you really can add various different fruit, so long as you don't add a high ratio of fruit to the point where too much liquid is released and affects the batter it should be fine.

Some other fruit suggestions are:

• Fresh berries
• Diced Apple
• Diced Pear
• Rhubarb
• Plum
• Peach
• Mango
• Pineapple

Other Add ins for Sheet Pancakes

Don't stick to just fruit either, you can add various of things to these sheet pancakes, such as:

• Drizzle of peanut butter into the batter
• Dollops of Jam into the batter
• Dollops of Nutella or Biscoff
• Chopped Nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds etc)
• Raisins
• Chocolate Chips
• Cooked Bacon

Do I need to sweeten the batter?

That depends on how sweet your tooth is and what you are adding as extra toppings. With the add fruit and then a drizzle of maple syrup over the top once cooked it is perfect balance of sweetness for us.

If you do want to sweeten the mix, I recommend either using some honey or maple syrup, mixed into the batter or to save calories use a granulated sweetener of choice (I prefer a naturally derived sweetener called Erythritol which has no aftertaste like other sweeteners). I wouldn't add more than 1 tablespoon per serving, which is 2 tablespoons overall or it will likely be too sweet. Start with a smaller amount and experiment until you get the pancakes to a sweetness you prefer, it will be different for everyone depending on what you choose as toppings and whether you stick to the fruit in the recipe or use your own combination.

You can also swap the plain yoghurt for a flavoured yoghurt, but my family do not like the artificial taste of fat free flavoured yoghurts, so we don't use them. I prefer to add flavour and sweetness with natural ingredients.

Toppings for Pancakes

For me there is only one choice for topping for pancakes and it has to be 100% pure maple syrup. Living in Canada we get various different grades and there is just no comparison, I just can't ruin delicious pancakes by drizzling them with artificial alternatives.

Maple syrup is only around 50 calories per tablespoon and is so worth it for a breakfast to enjoy. Honey and Golden Syrup are other options.

Some other great options are a dollop of yoghurt of your choice. Greek Yoghurt is my preferred option as it's nice and thick. Then there is also some cream if you want spend a few more calories or for a real decadent treat a drizzle of melted chocolate, peanut butter or your favourite spread.

Can these be frozen?

I personally recommend enjoying these once cooked. I haven't had a chance to test these frozen, but unless you choose a fruit that doesn't release a lot of moisture I think these would become soggy in areas when defrosted and the banana will go black.

You could bake this plain without fruit if you want to freeze, but it will be a bit boring without the add ins. So if you want a pancake recipe to freeze, stick to my American Style Pancakes instead.
