Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Easy to Make – no standing over a griddle flipping pancakes with this recipe! Just mix the batter, pour into a sheet pan, and let the oven do the rest of the work.
• Kid-Friendly – can’t go wrong with pancakes for kids, and my kids have zero complaints if the pancakes are made in a sheet pan or on the stove.
• Made in 20 minutes – five minutes to mix up the batter and add toppings (if you’d like), and then 15 minutes in the oven!
• Nourishing – I like to use a higher protein, higher fiber pancake mix (like Kodiak Cakes), plus adding a cup of pumpkin puree increases the fiber and nutrient density, too.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions:

For a full ingredient list with quantities, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Pancake mix – this recipe keeps it simple and convenient, using a boxed pancake mix (I use Kodiak Cakes for a little more nutrient density).
• Pumpkin – use canned pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
• Milk – always needed for pancakes! Use higher protein milk options to add a little more protein and balance to these sheet pan pancakes. (I like to use ultra-filtered milk, like Fairlife, that’s higher in protein, but any dairy milk, soy milk, and some fortified plant milks can also provide more protein).
• Eggs – helps bind the batter for the pancakes. I have not tried making these pancakes with any egg substitutes, so if you do, please let us know in the comments how it works!
• Brown Sugar – adds the perfect amount of sweetness! I like to use a brown sugar alternative when I want a no/ lower added sugar option.
• Seasonings – the pumpkin fall flavors are dialed up with cozy vanilla bean paste or extract and some pumpkin pie spice.
• Toppings – while not necessary, my family finds it fun to add different toppings to these pumpkin sheet pan pancakes. Our most common toppings include chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon chips, and slivered almonds.

How to Make Pumpkin Sheet Pan Pancakes

For complete instructions, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Add all ingredients to a large bowl and whisk just until combined.

Pour batter into a very well greased sheet pan. If you want to add toppings, go ahead and do so now (we like doing a different topping per quadrant – gives some variety and makes everyone happy). Bake for 15 minutes (pancakes will bounce back in the center if you gently press them). Let cool a few moments, then slice and serve! Enjoy!

Tips and Variations

• Make it sugar-free – use a sugar-free brown sugar substitute and make sure there are no added sugars in your pancake mix.
• Gluten-free – use your favorite gluten-free pancake mix, and ensure your toppings are gluten-free.
• Change up the toppings. We like to do different toppings in each quadrant. Some topping ideas include:
  • Chocolate chips
  • Cinnamon chips
  • White chocolate chips
  • Slivered almonds
  • Peanut butter or almond butter drizzle
  • Crushed pecans
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Hemp hearts
  • Dried cranberries
  • Diced apples
  • Banana slices

Meal Prep: Storing & Reheating

Pumpkin sheet pan pancakes work phenomenally for meal prep! Slice and store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them flat for up to 3 months.

I also like to make sure I’m getting a balanced breakfast by prepping a breakfast box like below, with some of the pancake, plus hard boiled eggs and fruit. You can also pair with a Greek yogurt or protein shake for some more protein, too.
