Sheet pan pancakes recipe
Ingredients
- One ripe banana
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- One cup milk of choice
- One tsp vanilla extract
- Two eggs
- 1 3/4 cups plain or all-purpose flour
- One tsp baking powder
Method
First, preheat the oven to 180C/350F fan-forced. Then, put the banana, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs in a blender and blitz until completely smooth.
Meanwhile, grease a 12x8in sheet pan with butter and line it with baking paper. Pour in the contents of the blender and then add the flour and baking powder, stirring with a whisk until everything is combined.
Bake for around 30 minutes until nice and golden, then cut into slices and serve. Each slice will be kept in the fridge for around three days and three months in the freezer.
