VEGAN SHEET PAN PANCAKES INGREDIENTS:
Below are notes about the ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make this easy sheet pancakes recipe:
- Dairy Free Milk and Apple Cider Vinegar– When combined, these two ingredients mimic buttermilk which is the flavor that we want in this recipe.
- flour– the star of the show! we really recommend using all-purpose flour
- vegan sugar– We add a little sugar since these are supposed to be pancake. If you want to learn more about why your sugar may not be vegan, you can learn more by clicking on the link.
- 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
- oil – helps with moisture, texture, and richness. We are using vegetable oil in the recipe in our photos
- cinnamon and brown sugar – this is how we are getting our cinnamon roll flavor!
SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:
- Flour – can use a 1:1 gluten free blend if needed
- Apple Cider Vinegar– white vinegar or lemon juice could be subbed
- vegan sugar– brown sugar, granulated date sugar or coconut sugar could be substituted
- Oil – use your favorite baking safe oil or vegan butter instead of vegetable oil
- Coconut Cream – 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.
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.

What are the best vegan pancake flavor combinations?

- 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

- 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

- 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)

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.
Victoria
Y’all! This was so dang good! I used whole wheat bread flour, and subbed the coconut cream and oil with 2 super squishy bananas. So light ad fluffy. I also tossed in some walnuts and chopped apples. This made plenty for the two of us to enjoy with our morning coffee all week long. What a perfect launch point for endless variations. Thank you!
LarishaBernard
So glad that you enjoyed it so much Victoria! Love the walnuts and apples idea!
J
Thank you for this EXTRAORDINARILY simple and delicious, replacement for boring pancakes. A delightful quick and easy stand-in for cinnamon roll lovers and I can’t wait for strawberries to come in season in my area to use this as a fast track strawberry shortcake substitute. So many possible variations on the theme. WOW!
Larisha Bernard
yay! Glad you enjoyed
Susie
This was wonderful! I added a couple tablespoons of ground flax seed, decreased sugar in the base pancake, and subbed applesauce for the oil and it was still amazing!! My family (with two young children) loved it and we enjoyed toasting leftover slices all week long too. Putting the original sheet pan in the oven and walking away was such a relief compared to standing at the stove endlessly flipping pancakes. Thank you so much for this recipe that I will use again and again! Can’t wait to try different add-ins.
LarishaBernard
So glad that you loved it as well as the family
Kelly
Can I sub oil with something else??
Thanks!!
LarishaBernard
Yes. same amount of unsweetened applesauce
Linda
Love this – so great for serving a larger group all at once as well as great for meal prep and quick weekday breakfasts. Loved the flavor – like a cross between a coffee cake and pancake. Thank you for this awesome brunch addition!
LarishaBernard
So happy to hear that you loved it!
Cora Minadeo

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I made one yesterday for brunch for the kids and me and they ate it all up! Not to mention it was a time saver! I don’t think I’ll ever make stovetop pancakes again LOL. Thank you!
LarishaBernard
Isn’t it amazing!? So glad you enjoyed
Erin
An absolute crowd pleaser!
Make it and win friends… delish!!
LarishaBernard
hahaha love it! so happy to hear
John Ferguson
could u freeze these pancakes please?
LarishaBernard
Yes you can! Cool completely, then freeze
Roger Blüm
Whoa. Delicious! Kind of like a coffee cake, mmmm. I was out of brown sugar, all purpose flour, and coconut cream. So I subbed all white sugar, semolina flour (I think helps make the bottom a little crispy which is delightful), and homemade applesauce (that my son all of a sudden doesn’t like when I make but applesauce from the store is better? Haha.) I also used a 12×16 pan and they might have been a little thinner but still fluffy like a pancake cake! Highly recommend trying this for yourself!
Anyway, it was tasty and super easy to make! Thank you for this recipe. Will be making again!
LarishaBernard
So glad that it still worked with your substitutions Roger!
Mel S @stitchyrice_mel
The whole family loved it, including the dairy fanatics! I used oat milk yogurt instead of coconut cream because that’s what I had, and used the 9×13 baking pan – super fluffy insides with excellent chewy outsides. No syrup required, it was sweet but not too sweet. We will make it again. Thank you for knocking another recipe out of park and for making tonight’s breakfast-for-dinner a dinner winner! 🙂
LarishaBernard
So happy to hear that everyone loved it!
Fran
Just made these. So good. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for another good one!
LarishaBernard
Awesome, we are so glad you enjoyed it
Miranda
This recipe is amazing. I just made it for my family. Everyone loved it! Super fluffy. Reminded me of coffee cake. 10/10 will definitely make again. Thanks for another great recipe!
LarishaBernard
yayyy!!! So glad to hear that
Maya
This recipe was perfect for Christmas morning!
I was a little worried because the batter didn’t come close to filling the 1/2 sheet pan. I also went a little lighter on the cinnamon sugar because it seemed like a lot. But the batter spread out in the oven and it probably would have been ok to use the full amount of cinnamon sugar.
In the end, it was a tasty and EASY way to serve breakfast for a crowd. And all with ingredients found in a (well stocked) vegan pantry. Everyone enjoyed it (vegan and omni), and we had plenty left over to freeze for regular breakfasts.
This is definitely staying in the rotation for breakfast, particularly for a crowd!
Thanks for sharing this just in time for the holidays!
Lynn
For sure very fluffy and tasty!
LarishaBernard
So glad you enjoyed!
Anna
This was incredible! So light and fluffy, and way better than standing at a griddle flipping 20 pancakes. I’m a convert to sheet pancakes at this point.
Anna
Also, I used unsweetened coconut yogurt instead of coconut milk as suggested and it worked well.
LarishaBernard
Awesome!
LarishaBernard
So glad that you enjoyed it!
