Storage
Refrigerator: Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, including the day you made them. Separate layers of pancakes with parchment paper in between.
Freezer: Cook a large batch and double or triple recipe. Create multiple sheet pans of pancakes using different toppings. You can store them in individual servings or whatever size works best for you. Separate portions with parchment paper or freezer-safe plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag until needed.
Reheat: In the oven or microwave.
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the pancakes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cooking spray, and loosely cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until heated through.
- Microwave: It's the quickest way to reheat pancakes but be careful not to overcook them. To reheat, place the individually separated pancakes on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a paper towel or another plate. Heat your pancakes on medium power for 30-60 seconds or until they are heated through. Remember to check on them periodically to make sure they don't get too hot or overcooked.

- Fruit: Add more fresh fruit on top such as sliced bananas, berries, or a combination of your favorites. Or, try our Fresh Pineapple Syrup as the perfect tropical twist!
- Add A Spread: Peanut Butter, almond butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, or jam like strawberry jam with jalapenos, rhubarb jam, mango jam, or mixed berries are great spread on top of a slice.
- Make Shapes: Cut into squares using a sharp knife with a serrated edge or a pizza cutter to get the cleanest cuts. Then use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes that everyone will enjoy.
Tips
Here are our tips that will ensure you create crowd-pleasing, fluffy pancakes every time!
- Always preheat your oven before baking for even cooking,
- Use a large sheet pan with a flat surface and a one-inch high-rimmed edge to ensure even distribution of batter.
- Don't over-mix your pancake batter as it can lead to tough or dense pancakes. Remember that a few lumps are okay and will still create fluffy pancakes.
- Use cooking spray or butter to grease your sheet pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Keep an eye on the pancakes and check for doneness once the top is golden brown. You can check with a toothpick inserted into the center that comes out clean with only a few crumbs.
FAQ
Using a 9x13 pan for sheet pan pancakes generally requires a slightly longer baking time due to the increased thickness of the batter. Check for doneness every few minutes after the initial baking time and be prepared to bake for up to 20-25 minutes in some cases or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few crumbs.
When using Aunt Jemima pancake mix for this recipe, follow the instructions provided in our recipe for best results as more liquid is needed than the pancake recipe on the box recommends. Remember to grease your pan well before adding the batter.
