Here is everything you need to make Sheet Pan Strawberry Pancakes

For the Pancake Batter

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1¾ cups milk
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1½ cups fresh strawberries, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

How to Make Sheet Pan Strawberry Pancakes

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan or a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup much easier after baking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined. Taking a minute to mix the dry ingredients well helps ensure the baking powder is spread throughout the batter, which creates fluffy pancakes.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and well blended. The melted butter adds richness while the vanilla gives the pancakes a warm and delicious flavor.

Step 4: Make the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a whisk or rubber spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine. Avoid overmixing because doing so can make the pancakes dense instead of light and fluffy.

Step 5: Fill the Pan

Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly from corner to corner. Making the batter level ensures that the pancake bakes evenly and every piece has a consistent thickness.

Step 6: Add the Strawberries

Sprinkle the diced strawberries evenly across the top of the batter. If desired, lightly sprinkle the strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar to enhance their sweetness. The strawberries will soften as they bake and create pockets of juicy fruit throughout the pancake.

Step 7: Bake

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. The pancake should become lightly golden around the edges and spring back when gently touched in the center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8: Cool Slightly

Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Allow the pancake to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This short resting time makes it easier to cut clean squares and helps the pancake hold its shape.

Step 9: Serve

Cut the giant pancake into squares or rectangles and serve warm. Add your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or extra strawberries. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
