Vegan Sheet Pan Pancakes

If you love pancakes, but hate the process of standing around the stove while you make 2-3 at a time, then you will absolutely love vegan sheet pan pancakes.

You still take your base recipe for pancakes, give or take, but instead of pouring the batter a little at a time into a skillet, you pour the entire batter into a greased sheet pan and bake.

Literally it’s that simple.

This is less than 10 minutes of prep and ready in under 30 minutes. You can add in your favorite toppings and get super creative with how swap out the ingredients.

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 sweet biscuits. 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
• toppings – get creative! In the photos, we are using sliced fresh strawberries and chocolate chips; however, we have a full list of ideas below

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.
