Ingredients You’ll Need
3 cups Kodiak Cakes buttermilk pancake and waffle mix: This blend is packed with protein and flavor, giving your pancakes a hearty boost. You can also use other pancake mixes, but adjust the liquid and may need to add eggs.
2 ¼ cups milk of choice: I prefer unsweetened almond milk for a lighter touch, but feel free to use cow’s milk, coconut milk, or any nut milk.
2 large eggs: These provide the structure and fluffiness needed in the pancakes. For a vegan version, substitute with flax eggs or applesauce.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds warmth and depth of flavor. Always choose pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil: This fat gives richness and moisture. If you’re aiming for dairy-free, stick with coconut oil.
Toppings: Customize your pancake masterpiece with blueberries, sliced strawberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or chopped nuts—whatever you fancy!
How to Make Sheet Pan Pancakes (Made with Kodiak Mix)
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a quarter sheet pan and either grease it with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later. The parchment really helps with cleanup, so I’m a big fan!
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the Kodiak mixture until well incorporated, making sure there are no lumps. The mix is already perfectly blended, so this step is quick and easy. Just give it a little whisk to break up any clumps!
Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. This is the magical mixture that transforms dry ingredients into fluffy goodness. Mix just until combined; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes!
Fold Together Gently: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is just combined. A few lumps don’t hurt; this ensures your pancakes remain light and fluffy. The goal here is to avoid overmixing—no one wants chewy pancakes!
Spread and Top: Carefully spread the pancake batter into the prepared sheet pan, making it as even as possible. This is where the fun begins—sprinkle your desired toppings evenly across the batter. I love a generous handful of blueberries for their burst of flavor!
Bake Until Golden: Slide the baking pan into your preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it; it’s ready when the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You’ll notice the delightful aroma of pancakes filling your kitchen!
Cool & Serve: Allow the pancakes to cool for a few minutes before cutting them into squares or rectangles. Serve warm with maple syrup, a scoop of Greek yogurt, or nut butter for that irresistible finish. Enjoy every fluffy bite!
Storing & Reheating
These sheet pan pancakes can be stored at room temperature for a couple of hours before they start to get a little dry. For longer storage, refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them later, freeze the cut squares in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months! To refresh them, pop them in a toaster oven or microwave for quick reheating—about 30 seconds should do the trick without drying them out too much.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid overmixing the batter; this keeps your pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for a better rise; cold ingredients can make for denser pancakes.
- You can easily swap toppings based on the season—pumpkin spice in the fall and fresh berries in the spring!
- If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm flavor twist.
- These pancakes are perfect for make-ahead meals; simply prepare the batter the night before and bake in the morning!
Every bite of these Sheet Pan Pancakes (Made with Kodiak Mix) is a delightful start to your day. So go ahead, whip up a batch, gather your loved ones, and create some delicious memories together. Each square can be customized to suit everyone’s taste—so they’ll love it just as much as you do!
Recipe FAQs
Can I use regular pancake mix instead of Kodiak mix?
Absolutely! Just be sure to adjust the liquid based on the mix’s instructions. Kodiak mix is high in protein, so your pancakes may be less fluffy compared to those made with standard mixes. Keep an eye on the bake time as well!
Can I make these pancakes vegan?
Certainly! Replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use your favorite plant-based milk and oil. They’ll still come out perfectly fluffy and delicious!
How do I prevent overcooking the pancakes?
The best way to avoid overcooking is to check them a minute or two before the suggested baking time. Oven temperatures can vary, so if you see the edges turning golden and a toothpick comes out clean, they’re ready to be taken out.
How can I reheat leftover pancakes?
For the best results, reheat your pancakes in a toaster oven or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second bursts to ensure they don’t become rubbery. For toaster ovens, set to 350°F until warmed through, typically about 5 to 7 minutes.
