VEGAN SHEET PAN PANCAKES INGREDIENTS:
Grab your ingredients!
Dairy Free Milk and Apple Cider Vinegar
When combined, these two ingredients mimic buttermilk which is the flavor that we want in this recipe.
Substitute: For the apple cider vinegar, white vinegar or lemon juice could be subbed.
Flour
The star of the show! we really recommend using all-purpose flour
Substitute: You can use a 1:1 gluten free blend if needed. Spelt flour will also work with this recipe. If you want to use a whole wheat flour, you should add 3 teaspoons more non-dairy milk.
Vegan sugar
We add a little sugar since these are pancakes. If you want to learn more about why your sugar may not be vegan, you can learn more by clicking on the link.
Substitute: Brown sugar, granulated date sugar or coconut sugar can be substituted.
Baking powder
This is helping us get the rise we need from the flour when baking and the baking soda is helping in that as well
Vanilla
Helps to enhance the flavor
Salt
Do not omit here, the salt helps to tighten the gluten strains, but also really brings the flavor out
Coconut cream
The thick part on top of chilled canned coconut milk is what we are using for this recipe. We are using this as an egg replacer for this recipe, but also helps with texture as well
Substitute: Subs for the coconut cream include: flax egg (2 tablespoon ground flax with 6 tablespoon water and let sit for 10 minutes), or ½ cup of one of the following: unsweetened applesauce, banana, pumpkin or sweet potato puree, or non-dairy yogurt. Some of these may alter taste and texture.
Oil
Helps with moisture, texture, and richness. We are using vegetable oil in the recipe in our photos
Substitute: Use your favorite baking safe oil or vegan butter instead of vegetable oil.
Cinnamon and brown sugar
This is how we are getting our cinnamon roll flavor!

What are the best vegan pancake flavor combinations?
- Cinnamon Roll – cinnamon and sugar combined and swirled in – see our take on this
- Cheesecake – diced up frozen vegan cheesecake
- Chocolate Chip – add chocolate chips
- Mint Chocolate Chip – replace half the vanilla extract with mint extract and add chocolate chips
- Strawberry Banana—slice strawberries and replace the coconut cream with mashed banana
- PB& J – replace the coconut cream with peanut butter and then dollop jelly on top (before or after baking)
- Banana Nut (Walnut)—replace the coconut cream with mashed banana and add chopped walnuts
- Pumpkin Pie – swap the coconut cream for pureed pumpkin, then add in 1-2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- Sweet Potato Pie– swap the coconut cream for mashed sweet potato, then add in 1-2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- Apple Cinnamon – replace the coconut cream with unsweetened applesauce, add apple pie spice, then add small diced apples on top
- Pear Cinnamon – optional: replace the coconut cream with pureed pears, add pie spices, then add small diced pears on top
- Eggnog – swap the non-dairy milk for non-dairy eggnog, add cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter
- Gingerbread – add ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Swap half the cane sugar for molasses
- Carrot Cake – add shredded carrots to the top and add in warm spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg
- Macadamia Cookies – finely chopped macadamia nuts and vegan white chocolate chips
- Raspberry White Chocolate – use chopped raspberries and vegan white chocolate chips. Adding a little raspberry extract here is great as well
- Orange Cranberry – zest from a full orange, swap half the non-dairy milk for orange juice, and add chopped cranberries on top (fresh preferred, but dried would work too)
- Mixed Berry – add a mixture of chopped strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries
- Coconut – use coconut milk and add coconut flakes to the top (before of after baking). Chocolate chips on this one are great as well
- Lemon Blueberry – zest from a full lemon, use lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar, and replace ¼ of the vanilla extract with lemon extract. Add blueberries to the top (fresh preferred, but dried would work too)
- “Bacon” – cooked, chopped vegan bacon on top, this is also great if you swap half the cane sugar with maple syrup or go “Elvis” with bananas and chocolate chips added with vegan bacon
- Zucchini – shredded zucchini (squeeze out as much liquid as you can). Also great with warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg
- Tropical – use coconut milk, add chopped fresh pineapple and coconut shreds to the top (if using canned, drain very well)

- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil (or other neutral oil) (80g)
- ⅔ cup brown sugar (130g)

- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then whisk together, scrapping down the sides If needed. DO NOT OVERMIX! Let mixture sit for at least 5 minutes before pouring.
- Pour all of your batter and spread evenly. In a small bowl, combine ⅔ cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together. Spoonful small amounts across the top of your batter. Use a knife or toothpick to make swirls in the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes! In the photo above there are two different pan sizes being used. On the left, an 18×13 baking sheet was used and it shows a thinner pancake. Still very fluffy compared to traditional pancakes though. This will give you more pancake pieces as it’s spread out more though. On the right, we used a 13×9 pan. That gives you a smaller amount but so much fluffier.
Yes! Non-dairy milk, flour and coconut cream are the ingredients we need to look at!
Use whatever non-dairy milk is safe for you.
For gluten free, we have had the best of luck with King Arthur Measure for Measure flour.
For the coconut cream, view the substitution list above – we’d recommend flax eggs.
Yes! Let cool completely and then leave in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Of course. Whether you want to eat the entire batch at one time or you just need a couple here and there, you can totally freeze the remaining in an air tight freezer container or bag. We recommend placing individual cut pieces on a wax sheet and flash freezing for 30-60 minutes, then moving to the container of choice.

I wanted to know if I could swap the sugar out for date sugar?
YES!
Is this a good recipe to prep ahead of time and refrigerate the night before baking?
Yes, you can!
Can you explain why 2 tbsp of baking powder is used here? It’s about double the ratio normally used, and there’s baking soda in the recipe as well. Is it needed because of the sheet pan format? Thanks.
Yes, it’s a larger amount for the sheet pan and in order to get them to stay fluffy
Thanks for confirming! I asked because I’ve had issues with off-flavors from using too much baking powder in the past. I made the recipe after your response and didn’t have that issue at all this time.
oh good! So glad you enjoyed it!
love these and been making them for a year now so amazing still awesome 🥰
so glad that you continue to love it!
Have you ever made this dairy free, but not vegan? If I want egg in it, instead of coconut cream, how many eggs to do think I would need?
No we haven’t, we’re a vegan website so we don’t test recipes using dairy or egg products (or any other animal products)
This is so fun! I made it GF with a cup for cup flour (good old bobs red mills) and the cook time is closer to the 15/17 mins, but it’s so, so good and so fun!
Glad you loved it!
I used applesauce instead of the coconut cream and it took much longer to bake. Instead of the 12-15 minutes, it took close to 30 minutes. The flavor was good though. I also added wild blueberries.
