Sheet Pan Banana Berry Protein Pancakes

Step away from the stove and crank up the oven! Sunday morning pancakes just got easier. Using a boxed protein pancake mix to cut back on prep time, we’re baking up fluffy, delicious pancakes in a sheet pan, no flipping necessary. These Sheet Pan Banana Berry Protein Pancakes pack an impressive 20 grams of protein per serving* and only require 5 minutes of hands-on time. We’ve topped ours with the beautiful fruit (bananas and berries) from this week’s haul, but you can customize your toppings to include mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, flaked coconut, crispy bacon, granola, and more!

This is also a great recipe for meal prep and make-ahead breakfasts. Pancake squares will keep up to 5 days in the fridge to be re-heated on busy mornings. If you’re serving a larger group, or want leftovers to enjoy later in the week, double the recipe and bake in a half-sheet pan (adjust bake time as needed).

*When prepared using cow’s milk. Protein content may be reduced/vary when using soy, nut or oat milks.
