Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes

Introduction

Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes are the ultimate breakfast hack for busy mornings, meal preppers, and anyone who appreciates a nutritious twist on a comfort classic. Unlike ordinary pancakes that demand flipping and constant attention, sheet pan pancakes are baked all at once, giving you fluffy, perfectly cooked slices packed with protein—no griddle or flipping required.

Their customizable format means you can top half the pan with berries, the other half with chocolate chips, or go wild with nuts and seeds, making them an instant crowd-pleaser for family brunches or quick weekday meals.

Why Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes Are a Game Changer

This recipe transforms your pancake routine by marrying convenience and balanced nutrition. Not only does it save time (and mess!) by cooking an entire batch at once, but by blending in protein powder and Greek yogurt, each serving delivers a satisfying, energizing punch to start your day.

Sheet pan pancakes are endlessly adaptable—swap in your favorite mix-ins or tailor the base to fit gluten-free or dairy-free needs. The hands-off bake ensures even results and frees you to prep sides or get the coffee brewing.

Essential Steps and Helpful Tools

Start by preparing a smooth batter, ensuring your dry and wet ingredients are thoroughly combined. Achieving this texture is key to light, fluffy pancakes. Using a high-powered blender—like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black—makes quick work of incorporating protein powder and cottage cheese or Greek yogurt seamlessly into the mix.

Before pouring your batter, line your sheet pan so your pancakes won’t stick and cleanup stays a breeze. The Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet ensures effortless removal and even baking.

Spread your batter evenly and add desired toppings across different sections of the pan. For precise, mess-free slicing after baking, you’ll love using a sharp chef’s knife on a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3. Store leftovers in an airtight container, such as the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup), for grab-and-go breakfasts all week.

Serving and Flavor Variations

Serve your protein pancakes warm from the oven, sliced into squares or rectangles. Offer a variety of toppings, from nut butters and sliced bananas to fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup. For a fun meal-prep idea, pack cooled pancake slices in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl for a protein-rich midday snack or school lunchbox addition.

Flavor customization is endless. Try folding blueberries, dark chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, or seeds into sections of the batter before baking—or swirl in cinnamon for a cozy taste.

Nutritional Information and Batch Size

One sheet pan yields about 8–12 squares (depending on how you slice them), each offering around 10–15 grams of protein—thanks to protein powder, eggs, and dairy. Calorie counts will vary with your chosen add-ins but typically range from 120–180 calories per serving, making these pancakes a versatile and macro-friendly option.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet (approx. 13×18 inches) with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy removal and cleanup.
2. In a large bowl or using your Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Blend or whisk until the dry mix is uniform.

4. Pour the batter onto the lined sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly to all corners.
5. Add your desired toppings evenly or in sections for variety across the batch.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the top is just golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Using KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set, Milkshake, 2 Count makes handling the hot sheet pan safe and easy.
