Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan recipe that combines crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes baked together for a no-fuss, comforting breakfast-for-dinner meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (480 ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or 2 cups milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 to 10 slices thick-cut bacon
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries or sliced bananas, chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Arrange 8 to 10 slices of thick-cut bacon on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan (18×13 inches), making sure slices don’t overlap.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; stir gently to combine.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the batter onto the empty side of the sheet pan and spread evenly with a spatula to about ½ inch thickness, leaving space around edges.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until bacon is browned and crispy and pancake edges are golden.
  8. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pancakes; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes if needed.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes to firm up bacon and make slicing easier.
  10. Slice pancakes into squares and serve with bacon, drizzled with maple syrup and optional fresh fruit or nuts.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes tender. Arrange bacon slices without overlapping for crispiness. If bacon is not crispy enough, broil for 1-2 minutes watching closely. Avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain crispiness; reheat in oven or toaster oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
