Fluffy pancake recipes are my jam. I used to be guilty of always buying pancake mix from the store because it was the simplest way to get breakfast on the table in a pinch.
Then came along sheet pan meals. This pancake batter is super easy to make, and is ready in about 20 minutes or less.
These golden brown pancakes are a real treat for the whole family or a gathering! They are eggless and made with 10 simple ingredients you probably already have on hand!

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS EASY BREAKFAST
You will need the following ingredients listed below to make these delicious cinnamon buns (the exact measurements and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):
- Almond milk
- Apple cider vinegar
- Gluten Free Flour – you can also use all-purpose flour if you are not gluten intolerant.
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Vanilla Extract
- Maple Syrup
- Coconut oil
- Bananas
- Chocolate chips
HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE SHEET PANCAKES
Preheat oven to 425F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with non stick cooking spray.
In medium bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar with the almond milk. Let sit to thicken.
In a large bowl whisk together gluten free flour, baking powder and salt. Add the vanilla, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil to the almond milk mixture.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Then add half the chocolate chips.
Pour batter onto sheet pan (I used a 10×15″) and smooth out using spatula and by tapping the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles. The smoother, the better, because it doesn’t smooth on its own.
Bake at 425F for about 5 minutes, then add banana slices and remainder of chocolate chips on top. Continue to bake in oven for another 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
If you want to brown the top, broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye so the pancakes don’t burn. Slice into 12-15 slices, and serve with icing sugar, drizzle of maple syrup, coconut yogurt, more fresh sliced bananas, fresh berries or any of your favorite toppings!
TIPS FOR MAKING THESE SHEET PAN CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper AND spray the paper with nonstick spray! This makes it easy for everything to come out nicely!
- Use a gluten free flour that contains xanthan gum, I used Bobs Red Mill 1:1 baking flour. If your gluten free flour does not contain xanthan gum, you may need to add some to the recipe!
- Use a baking sheet with higher ledges if you have! I’ve tested this recipe with 2 different baking sheets, and the pancakes do turn out thicker and fluffier with a baking sheet with more room to heighten!
- Use a pizza cutter to slice up these bad boys into individual pancakes! Saves time and a lot of mess.
- Make sure to use your favorite pancake toppings and additional maple syrup.
WHY THESE EASY BANANA PANCAKES ARE THE BEST
Pancakes are one of my favourite family breakfasts, but making them is the absolute worst. Because you have to cook them in batches, everyone is chowing down on the delicious fluffy pancakes, while you slave away over the skillet, flipping your life away.
Once you have finally finished cooking everything and you’re about to sit down to eat, everyone else is done. You eat alone, in silence, while forgetting about the last few pancakes on the skillet, and they burn.
Okay that was a bit dramatic but you get the drift. They are delicious but THEY SUCK.
Which is why sheet pan pancakes are the way to GO! You can prepare everything ahead of time, and toss it in the oven.
This gives you 15-20 minutes to clean the kitchen up and get everything ready. You can also visit with family and friends, and eat with everyone else, it’s a beautiful thing.
HOW TO STORE THIS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST
- Store leftover banana chocolate chip sheet pan pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge (they stay fresh for 3-4 days).
- You can reheat them in the microwave or in the toaster for an easy grab and go breakfast!
- They also freeze very well! I have made them and froze half the batch in a freezer bag to keep them very fresh for future meal prep!

Do you think the recipe will work with almond flour?
Hi Steph!
No I don’t think it will work as well. It may not bind together as much. I highly recommend sticking to the 1:1 all purpose gluten free flour! 🙂
This recipe is sooo good. Wish I had it when company was over last week! Used half vanilla protein flaxmilk and half oatmilk to add a little protein and left the bananas out.
Hi Amy!
Thank you so much for your 5 star review I’m so glad you liked this recipe!! 🙂
