These Vegan Sheet Pan Pancakes are baked instead of pan-fried making this pancake recipe perfect for feeding a crowd. Gluten-free option.
Whenever I need to feed a crowd for breakfast I usually resort to some sort of breakfast casserole but let’s face it – especially if there are kids at the table, pancakes would be the most popular option! Enter sheet pan pancakes!
YES, everyone loves a pancake breakfast but making pancakes for more than two people can get too time-consuming! Sheet pan pancakes are the “No sweat” approach to making pancakes. No messy flipping, no burnt bottoms, no uneven batches, and most importantly, a relaxed host that has time to mingle and chat.
These Vegan Sheet Pan Pancakes are a real life-saver when it comes to feeding many hungry mouths during the holidays. You can top them with whatever you want. Think, half strawberries and chocolate chips, half nuts, and banana. I like doing half of the sheet pan with berries, and adding a cinnamon swirl the second half!

Vegan Sheet Pan Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) flour I usually use 1 1/2 cup all-purpose and 1/2 cup whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour, all all purpose works as well
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons (40 g) sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or other spices of choice
- 2 teaspoons white or apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup (355 ml) non-dairy milk I like to use a mix of coconut milk and oatmilk
- 1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a few drops of almond extract optional
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) club soda or use more milk
- toppings of choice such as berries chocolate chips, banana, or a cinnamon sugar swirl
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: that's the flour, cornstarch, flax meal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon or other spices that you plan to use. Mix really well.
- Then in another bowl, mix in the vinegar into the non-dairy milk and let it sit for a few minutes. Add that buttermilk mixture to the dry. Add the oil and vanilla and mix in lightly.
- Then add in a 1/4 cup of club soda and mix until the mixture is a smooth batter. If the batter is too stiff, add another tablespoon of club soda.
- Prepare a 10x15 inch or larger baking sheet by either greasing really well or lining with parchment. Drop the batter into the baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Top it with toppings of choice then bake at a preheated 425 degrees F (220 c) oven for 15 minutes . Take the baking sheet out of the oven at the 15-minute mark.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool then if you lined it with parchment, you can slide the pancake off of the baking sheet. If not then slice within the baking sheet or use cookie cutters to make favorite shaped. Serve with some maple syrup and vegan butter.
- For the cinnamon swirl: mix 1 tsp cinnamon with 2 tsp maple syrup and 1 tsp oil (optional) then drop using a spoon. Swirl the cinnamon syrup using a knife or toothpick

Notes

Tips & Substitutions:
- For pumpkin spice swirl pancakes, mix 1-2 tsp pumpkin spice with 1 tbsp maple syrup and optional 1 tsp oil then drop using a spoon. Swirl the syrup using a knife.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I used your GF flour mix and it turned out amazing! I also tried using regular GF flour but that was a dry-cake disaster. I will stick to the first option
Richa
Awesome!
Anna
Delicious, quick, & easy. I’ve made this recipe several times in the past few months. Wonderful for breakfast, a snack to pack with lunch, or a cozy evening dessert. Thanks, Richa!

thanks for your feedback Anna =) glad you like them

I made these for Christmas breakfast this year using the gluten free flour mix that appears in the recipe notes. They were so tasty!!!! I also made them fat free by using the apple sauce option instead of the oil and I lined the baking sheet with parchment paper to complete the fat free process. I used lemon juice instead of vinegar and it worked well. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Richa
Awesome!
Tracey
This was perfect for Christmas morning! I left out the flax because I can’t eat it and they still turned out great. I may never make regular pancakes again!!

This looks exciting, can’t wait to try it out. I want to try the gluten free version. Is there a substitute for the potato starch?
Karen
Can lemon juice be used instead of apple cider vinegar, as MM is against ACV?
Can the oil be cut back from 3 tablespoons, and still work in this recipe?
Vegan Richa Support
mm? acv??
Ronalee
Yes I do this for every baking recipe that calls for acv
Joy
Yes I made these with the GF flour mix she suggests and I used lemon juice instead of vinegar. I also made them fat free by omitting the oil and using the applesauce instead. In this way they are fully MM compliant and delicious!!!!
Karen
How would you reheat the sheet pan pancakes if they have been frozen?
Vegan Richa Support
on stovetop or oven or microwave
Farhana Abdul
Hi i always love your recipes never tried because i dont know if i use gluten free all purpose flour it will give the same results. I am really scared to try those recipes with gluten free option. Please let me know if you tried any thing with gluten free flour
Richa
I try the recipes with my own Glutenfree flour mix. See notes for what I use. Store bought blends usually don’t work as a direct substitute
Nina
These pancakes turned out so fluffy and so easy! I doubled the recipe and used a full size sheet pan. My kids used cookie cutters to make pancake cookies! It was perfect! I really loved the cinnamon swirl too 🙂 I used half white bread flour and half white whole wheat flour.
Richa
Yay!! Thank you for the review!

If I make it in advance how should I reheat it without drying it out?
Richa
I usually microwave them. To reheat in oven, cover with parchment and bake for 4-5 mins
Anya
Definitely 5 stars!
Super easy to make and the kids loved the idea of my “cake pancakes”. I made it with blueberries and will definitely try the cinnamon swirl!
Love love love!!
Richa
Yay!

Amazing! I don’t think only gluten is the problem, what could I substitute for all of this oil which is also quite unhealthy (it messed my health when I didn’t know how dangerous ool and sugar are) thank you.
I’ve switching to coconut and monk fruit sugar
Vegan Richa Support
this one has less oil: https://www.veganricha.com/recipe-pages/vegan-chickpea-flour-pancakes/

Thanks! Do I need to add more baking soda if I use milk instead of club soda? How much?
Richa
Nope

In my earlier comment re a sorghum flour recipe forgot to mention yeast-free vegan bread with no xanthum or guar hoping you have one or will be inspired 🙂
thanks
AA
There is cornstarch in the instructions but it is missing from the ingredients. So, how much ?
thanks
Richa
It’s 2 tbsp. Updated

Pancakes of the future have arrived! No more standing over the stove to flip pancakes! I normally don’t make pancakes because my flipping skill leaves much to be desired. These sheet pancakes are delicious and easy. A nice treat for breakfast, snack or dessert.
Richa
Yay!!!
