Welcome to Pancake Paradise!
Hey there, pancake enthusiasts! If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to serve up breakfast for a crowd (or just for yourself!), you’ve got to try these Cinnamon Swirl Sheet Pan Pancakes! They’re fluffy, flavorful, and so much easier than making pancakes one by one on the stovetop. You’ll love how the delicious cinnamon swirl adds that retro touch that makes this breakfast feel special!
Nutritional Benefits
Believe it or not, pancakes can be part of a balanced meal! With whole grains, you can add some fiber, and incorporating eggs offers protein to help keep you full throughout the day. Plus, you can add some fruit on the side to increase your vitamin intake—think bananas or berries to elevate the nutrition and flavor!
Ways to Customize Your Pancakes
The best part about these sheet pan pancakes is how customizable they can be! Here are a few ideas to jazz them up:
- Add Fruit: Toss in some blueberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas to add a pop of freshness.
- Switch Up the Flavors: Try adding a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the pancake batter for a lovely aroma.
- Top It Off: Drizzle with maple syrup, serve with whipped cream, or sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving!
Cinnamon Swirl Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk (or regular milk with a squeeze of lemon juice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease or line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined—don’t overmix it for fluffy pancakes!
- Spread the pancake batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture. Drizzle the mixture over the pancake batter in a swirl pattern. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it together.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pancakes are golden and set in the middle.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
Helpful Tips for Success
- Make sure to mix the batter just until combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine for fluffy pancakes!
- If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Add a bit of whipped cream on top for an extra special touch, especially for a brunch gathering!
