These Gluten-free Sheet Pan Pancakes are a family staple and something that is great to meal prep for the week. They are dairy-free, gluten-free and have no added sugar.
I have *the* breakfast recipe to help make back-to-school or even weekend breakfasts even easier – SHEET PAN PANCAKES! These are a staple in our home and we make a batch every couple of weeks. These are so much easier than traditional pancakes since you make the batter, pour it into a baking sheet and bake. Instead of making individual pancakes – this is less effort and still have delicious golden edges like your favorite pancakes.
This is a great meal prep recipe to make too since it stays good for up to 5 days in the fridge. And you can even do different mix-in’s on different parts of the pancakes. Feel free to customize it to work for you and your family!
I cannot wait to hear what you think of this!! Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram and Tiktok if you try it.
What ingredients you need to make paleo sheet pan pancakes:
- Bananas – I use about two medium bananas that are ripe. Not totally brown like banana bread but slightly freckled is great
- Eggs – I haven’t tried flax eggs here
- Non-dairy milk – any non-dairy milk works or use regular milk if you prefer
- Avocado oil – or use melted butter if you prefer
- Almond flour – I haven’t tried another flour but I think oat flour would sub well in this!
- Shredded zucchini – squeeze out moisture! And this is optional but great way to add in extra veggies
- Chocolate chips – another optional mix-in but who doesn’t love chocolate chips on pancakes?!

In a large bowl whisk together the banana, eggs, milk, oil and vanilla until combined and smooth

Think I could use some form of the wheat flour, like maybe white whole wheat flour?
Rachel
i haven’t tried!

Deanna, I tried making these today with gluten-free cup-for-cup replacement flour (which replaces wheat flour in recipes calling for wheat flour), since we can’t eat almonds and I couldn’t seem to process oats fine enough to make flour from them (and the zucchini had already been grated). But the pancakes were very doughy inside no matter how long I baked them, even after I cut and spread them out on a large cookie sheet and smashed them flat with a spatula. I also only used 1/4 cup of zucchini in mine (since we were afraid we wouldn’t like it), but they were still too wet to fully cook inside without microwaving them individually (which we did) until they were chewy. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend trying the wheat flour, which would likely produce a similar result.
Since we hated to waste the ingredients and they smelled really good, we ate some anyway. Aside from the chewy texture and not quite enough sweetness to suit our spoiled palates, they were okay with the chocolate chips inside and maple syrup on top.
I really do wish I could have tried the recipe with the almond flour as written, but hopefully sharing my experience will save someone else from wasting their time and ingredients by attempting to use a different type of flour than what Rachel recommended.

Turned out great, a hit with my teens for meal prep
Rachel
yay!!!
Tamar
Loved this recipe! Super simple to make, light yet filling, and delicious!
Rachel
thank you!!!
Ally
These were really good! I added some brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans to the batter. Topped with strawberries. Also, once I was done mixing the batter I noticed it was pretty runny and got a bit nervous to bake it. Ended up just throwing in 1/2 cup of gf flour to help thicken it up and it did the trick. Will be making these again! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Rachel
thank you! 🙂

Can I not use zucchini in this and if so what would you recommend as a substitute. I am on gluten free I have an allergy to gluten. It’s not a choice LOL!
Rachel
you can omit zucchini!
