Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe
One-pan, oven-baked pancakes engineered for consistent texture, quick portioning, and reliable meal prep breakfast storage.
Equipment
- 1 Standard half-sheet baking pan (18" x 13") Light-colored, heavy-gauge aluminum for even heat distribution
- 1 Parchment paper sheet (cut to fit) Prevents sticking, simplifies removal
- 1 Large mixing bowl (3–4 qt) Room for whisking without spillage
- 1 Wire whisk Incorporates eggs and milk, breaks lumps
- 1 Silicone spatula Spreads batter evenly to edges
- 1 Wire cooling rack Stops carryover cooking, prevents soggy bottoms
- 1 Sharp knife or pizza cutter Clean slice lines
Ingredients
- 3 whole eggs room temperature for smoother emulsion
- 300 ml milk dairy or unsweetened almond or oat
- 200 grams all-purpose flour spooned and leveled or weighed
- 2 tsp baking powder check expiration date, drives rise in oven heat
- 3 scoops Alcami Life Enhancing Blend (approx. 30g) adds sustained energy nutrients without altering batter viscosity
- 150 grams strawberries hulled, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 150 grams blueberries rinsed, thoroughly dried to prevent sogginess
Instructions
Batter Emulsion and Dry Integration
- Crack 3 eggs into the large mixing bowl. Add 300ml milk. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until fully homogenized and slightly frothy.
- Sift 200g flour and 2 tsp baking powder over the wet mixture. Add 3 scoops Alcami Life Enhancing Blend.
- Fold with whisk until just combined. Stop at first signs of smoothness. Small lumps are acceptable. Overmixing develops gluten, causing density.
Pan Preparation and Batter Spread
- Preheat oven to 220°C or 425°F. Line the half sheet pan size with parchment. Do not grease. Parchment provides release.
- Pour batter onto center of pan. Use silicone spatula to push batter evenly into all corners. Target ½-inch thickness across entire surface. Pancake batter consistency determines final texture. Too thin causes flat results. Too thick creates dense centers.
Topping Placement and Bake
- Scatter 150g sliced strawberries and 150g blueberries evenly. Lightly press berries into batter to prevent rolling during bake.
- Bake on center rack for 15 minutes. Do not open oven before minute 12. Golden edges and springy center indicate doneness.
- Transfer pan to wire cooling rack. Cool completely, about 5 minutes, before slicing. Cooling stabilizes structure.
Notes
- You can buy Alcami Life Enhancing Blend from their official website.
- Calories are for 8 slices. Each slice has approximately 180 kcal.
- Flour hydration matters. 200g flour plus 300ml milk equals approximately 1:1.5 hydration. Adjust plus or minus 15ml milk if your flour absorbs differently or if environment is very dry or humid.
- Berry moisture control. Wet berries create steam pockets. Pat dry before placing. This prevents gummy centers.
- Pan placement. Center rack prevents top browning too fast while edges cook. If your oven runs hot, rotate pan 90 degrees at minute 10.
- Sizing yield. 8 slices is standard. Cut 6 for larger portions, 10 for snack portions. Adjust calorie counts proportionally.
- Storage prep. Slice only after fully cooling. Warm slicing tears crumb. Store in single layer with parchment between sheets to prevent sticking.
