Gluten Free Sheet Pan Pancakes are easily made with pantry staples but are baked in a sheet pan! They are great for feeding the whole family at once or for super easy meal prep to enjoy all week. Add your favorite mix-ins to make them extra special.

When I saw these Sheet Pan Pancakes on Food Network, I knew I had to make some gluten free ones right away.
We love homemade pancakes, but who has time to stand there and flip each one? These easy sheet pan pancakes allow you to make an entire batch of pancakes at the same time.
No more babysitting individual pancakes. With this recipe, you can put together the rest of your weekend breakfast while your batch of pancakes is in the oven!
I mean, how cool is this to feed a crowd of three hungry teenagers? Plus, you can add different mix-ins, make half chocolate chip, and have blueberry. I mean we can never get everyone in the house to agree on the same flavor, right?
My love for sheet pan dinners runs deep. I love nothing more than an easy dinner where all ingredients are prepared on one sheet pan like...

The Best Gluten Free Flour For Pancakes
I use Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour in this gluten-free sheet pan pancake recipe. It's the same gluten-free flour I use in my simple Gluten Free Pancake and it's just so convenient! It mixes two different types of rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and xantham gum.
It has a light non-grainy taste that works well in baked goods, pancakes, and waffles.
If you've been gluten-free for a while, you know how hard it is to find the right flour substitute.
I love using Bob's mix because you simply scoop what you need and move on! No extra measuring or opening up a bunch of bags of flour.
You'll simply combine your gluten-free flour with a few simple ingredients, and you're good to go!

Sheet Pan Pancakes Gluten Free Tips
Now if you are looking for that perfect golden brown color, you get when cooking pancakes in a skillet with butter...you won't find that here.
That golden color comes from flipping pancakes on a griddle or pan.
These Sheet Pan Gluten-Free Pancakes are more like cake!
They have a light color on top and are nice and fluffy on the inside.
We love to save them for dessert! Don't tell anyone, but my favorite toppings are ice cream, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream!

Tips and Tricks
Why are my gluten free pancakes rubbery?
Just like baking with regular flour, it's possible to overmix your gluten free pancake batter. Try to whisk your ingredients just until they come together.
Do gluten-free pancakes taste different?
If your gluten free flour is high in almond or coconut flour, you'll likely notice a different flavor or texture. I recommend using a neutral flour substitute made with rice flour for a really smooth, neutral flavor.
Is there a gluten free flour that tastes good?
I love using Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten Free mix. It's so convenient to use, and it just tastes really light. You aren't bogged down with too much almond flour or coconut flour, and the texture is smooth, not gritty.
Why are my pancakes gooey?
If the center of the pancakes is still gooey, they either were not baked long enough or at a high enough temperature. This is part of why I love sheet pan pancakes. Because you aren't standing there flipping each one, all of your pancakes will come out perfectly baked every time.
These gluten-free sheet pan pancakes are one of my favorite easy breakfast recipes! I love whipping up a big batch for my large family. The leftover pancake slices (if there are any!) reheat great in the toaster oven; honestly, I can eat these for breakfast or dessert.
I'm pretty sure these oven-baked pancakes will be your new favorite pancakes! Let me know what you think in the comments below.

These are such a great idea! I've been watching the amount of gluten I eat due to inflammation so it's nice to have this option when I am craving pancakes. Thanks!
Kushigalu says
Never tried making this before. These pancakes look so perfect and delicious!
Lizet says
My boys are going to love this! and adding chocolate and blueberries is just going to make their day even more.
Annissa says
What a great way to make pancakes for a crowd! I get tired of flipping pancakes when I have a houseful. This saves so much time!

Alice says
My family and I LOVED it!!!! This will be in our regular weekend rotation!
Thanks so much for this super easy and tasty recipe!!!!
Melina Malone says
So glad you liked it!
Stacy says
Easy peasy, first go was a success according to kids - and I loved not taking forever to flip pancakes for 7. Making again in the with surprise treat chocolate chips, serving with banana and bacon. Since thinking is hard in the morning (all my mamas with teething toddlers feel me) I have all wet except butter in one jar in the fridge, butter softening on the counter, and the dry mixed in another jar. Looking forward to a brainless, delicious breakfast tomorrow!
Melina Malone says
Thanks for the tips! So glad you like them.
Stacy says
Ok one more tip- this morning I just mixed in the softened butter to the dry stuff (creamed maybe is the word) and then added the wet and mixed until bigger chunks were gone but not totally smooth. It sat a bit while bacon finished up in the oven. I really like the texture of them this way!
TammySweets says
hey, so im trying to make these gluten free pancakes for my kids, but i dont got the bob's mill thing. can i use something else or nah? would love some advice, Melina Malone.
FitMom101 says
Hey, you can actually use any gluten-free flour mix that has a similar composition. Check for ones that have rice flour and tapioca, those usually work well!
grillmaster98 says
never thought about doing pancakes on a sheet pan. does it really taste the same as the skillet ones? kinda doubting it.
Jenny_the_reader says
I'm intrigued by the blend of flours mentioned in the recipe. How important is the xantham gum in the mix? Can it be omitted or is there a substitute? Appreciate any guidance!
Felix says
These came out great! But you may want to edit so it says to line with parchment paper only, not waxed - waxed paper can easily start a fire in the oven as it's not made for high oven temperatures. I lightly oiled the pan instead and that also worked great. Thanks!
Esme says
made this for my family tonight. I was completely out of ideas for dinner so I went with a simple breakfast. Everyone loved the pancakes!! Even my kiddos friends that aren't used to gluten free foods went for seconds. Next time I will double the recipe
Melina Malone says
I'm so glad you liked it and now you have a new easy dinner idea!
Dave K says
all this gluten free talk, but does anybody actually feel better eating like this? seems like a lot of hassle for pancakes.
Lexi says
I made this recipe today, except used 1% milk (didn't have any almond milk), and 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup palm shortening (because I didn't have enough unsalted l unsalted l unsalted butter), and it came out gummy and undercooked. I even cooked it 25 minutes, instead of 20. I'm not sure what went wrong, because I am always very careful with my measuring of ingredients. I'm sorry, but IDK how this came out good for anyone else.
Melina Malone says
I'm sorry this happened, but when you substitute ingredients I can't help since it's not the same recipe. I have not tried this with palm shortening
.
Mary says
Would this work in a 9 x 13 inch cake pan? Looks good.
Melina Malone says
Hi Mary, sorry I haven't tried that so I'm not sure it would work.
Mary P says
It worked good. I doubled it and put it in a 9x13 inch pan.y whole family gobbled it up.
Melina Malone says
That's great to hear! Thanks.
zebracookie45 says
Just made these sheet pan pancakes and OMG! They turned out so fluffy and yummy :). Gonna add blueberries next time. Anyone tried adding chocolate chips?
ChocoChipLover says
Yes! Chocolate chips make everything better. They melt slightly and turn the pancakes into a heavenly dish. Must try!
HealthyEats says
Just a tip, if you're adding chocolate chips, maybe look for darker, less-sweetened ones? Could help keep it on the healthier side.
