A cozy and easy brunch recipe that delivers a fluffy, airy pancake bake using a single sheet pan. Perfect for busy mornings with minimal cleanup and no flipping required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Optional toppings or mix-ins: fresh berries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, maple syrup, honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the rack in the middle position.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch sheet pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top gently.
  6. If desired, sprinkle fresh berries or chocolate chips on top and press lightly into the batter.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pancake bake puffs up and turns golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles and serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for even baking. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Optional mix-ins like berries or chocolate chips should be sprinkled on top, not folded in.
