Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (for greasing pan)
- 1 bag Bob’s Red Mill® Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix
- 2 cups Water
Toppings and Mix-ins
- 3 tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Banana (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Walnuts (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the pancakes evenly.
- Prepare the Pan: Rub a 13×18-inch half-sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, coating the bottom and all sides, including the corners to prevent sticking during baking.
- Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and 2 cups of water until just combined. Small lumps are acceptable, but avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Spread Batter on Pan: Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out to cover the surface evenly for consistent cooking.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to sit on the pan for at least 5 minutes. This resting period helps relax the gluten and results in tender pancakes.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside for topping.
- Section 1 – Chocolate Chips: Divide the batter into four equal sections. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips over the batter in the first section.
- Section 2 – Blueberries: Scatter 1 cup of fresh blueberries over the batter in the second section.
- Section 3 – Cocoa and Banana: Using a fine mesh strainer, dust 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder over the third section. Use a toothpick or paring knife to create a marble pattern in the batter. Top this section with sliced banana and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
- Section 4 – Cinnamon Sugar and Walnuts: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the fourth section. Then evenly spread 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts on top.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pancakes are lightly browned. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the batter; if it comes out clean, the pancakes are ready.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the sheet pan pancakes immediately for a delightful and convenient breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes.
- Resting the batter on the pan helps provide a tender texture by relaxing gluten.
- You can substitute toppings according to preference or seasonal availability.
- Ensure the pan is well-buttered to easily remove pancakes after baking.
- Use a toothpick test to confirm the pancakes are fully cooked before removing from oven.
