STORAGE

Storing leftover pumpkin sheet pan pancakes is easy, and you can enjoy them for later meals. Here’s how to store them properly:

1. Cooling: Allow the pancakes to cool completely at room temperature. This helps prevent condensation inside the storage container, which can make the pancakes soggy.
2. Divide: If you have a large sheet of pancakes, you might want to cut them into individual portions or squares. This makes it easier to reheat and serve later.
3. Wrap: There are a few options for wrapping the pancakes:
   • Plastic Wrap: Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pancakes to minimize air exposure. This helps prevent freezer burn.
   • Parchment Paper: Alternatively, you can separate the pancakes with parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.
   • Aluminum Foil: If you’re planning to consume them within a day or two, aluminum foil can also be used. Just make sure they are wrapped tightly.
4. Storage Container: After wrapping, place the wrapped pancakes in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing it.
5. Label and Date: It’s a good practice to label the container or bag with the contents and the date you made them. This helps you keep track of how long they’ve been in the freezer.
6. Freeze: Place the container or bag in the freezer. Be sure to put them in a flat area to maintain their shape. If you have a lot of leftover pancakes, you can stack them with layers of parchment paper between each layer to save space.

​HOW TO REHEAT AFTER THIS EASY BREAKFAST RECIPE HAS BEEN FROZEN

When you’re ready to enjoy your leftover pumpkin sheet pan pancakes, you can reheat them directly from the freezer. Here are a few methods:

• Oven or Toaster Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pancakes on a baking sheet and heat for 5-10 minutes, or until they’re heated through.
• Microwave: For a quick reheat, you can use the microwave. Wrap the pancakes in a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out and heat them in 20-30-second intervals until they’re warm.
• Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a bit of butter or oil. Cook the frozen pancakes for a few minutes on each side until they’re heated through and slightly crispy.
