Ingredients Needed for This Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

• For the pancake batter:

* 3 cups all purpose flour * 1/4 cup granulated sugar * 4 teaspoons baking powder * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 3 cups milk * 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted * 2 large eggs * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• For the blueberry topping:

* 2 cups fresh blueberries * 2 tablespoons all purpose flour * 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

How to Make This Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Grease a 13×18 inch sheet pan. We like to use butter for that extra bit of flavor, but cooking spray works perfectly too.

1. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed for a light and fluffy pancake.

1. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Make sure the butter isn’t too hot when you add it, you don’t want to cook the eggs!

1. 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay; overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.

1. 5. In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking.

1. 6. Pour the pancake batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

1. 7. Sprinkle the sugared blueberries evenly over the batter.

1. 8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remember, oven times can vary, so keep an eye on it.

1. 9. Let the sheet pan pancakes cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.

How to Serve This Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

How to Store This Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

Leftover Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later enjoyment.

• Refrigeration: Allow the pancakes to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• Freezing: For longer storage, cut the pancakes into individual squares and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until solid, then transfer the frozen squares to a freezer bag or airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

• Reheating: To reheat refrigerated pancakes, simply warm them in the microwave, oven, or toaster until heated through. Frozen pancakes can be reheated directly from frozen using the same methods.

Tips to Make This Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

Here are some of our favorite tips to ensure your Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes turn out perfect every time:

• Ingredient Swaps: You can easily adapt this recipe to suit your preferences. Try using gluten free flour blend for a gluten free version, or swap out the blueberries for other fruits like raspberries or strawberries.

• Success Tips: Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for a light and fluffy texture. Don’t overmix the batter, and keep an eye on the pancakes while they’re baking to prevent them from burning.

• Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overmixing the batter is one of the most common mistakes. Remember, a few lumps are okay! Also, be sure to grease the sheet pan thoroughly to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

• Pro Tips for Best Results: For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes before pouring it into the sheet pan. This allows the baking powder and baking soda to activate, resulting in a lighter texture.

Helpful Notes for This Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

• Ingredient Details: We recommend using fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.

• Equipment Recommendations: A 13×18 inch sheet pan is ideal for this recipe. A whisk and a couple of mixing bowls will also be helpful.
