Baked Sheet-Pan Pancakes
Healthy baked pancakes topped with fruit.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana
- 1/4 cup flavorless oil or melted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey plus extra for serving
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 3 cups white whole wheat flour all-purpose flour or a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 1 pound strawberries sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries or use whatever fruit you'd like
- powdered sugar, for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a standard 15-by-18 rimmed baking sheet with oil. Line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large bowl, mix eggs, applesauce, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and milk.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Dumb flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined and no dry flour remains. Pour batter onto your prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
- Decorate the top of the pancake batter as desired. Bake until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of the baked pancake comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, dust with powdered sugar, if using, then slice into squares. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
