With this recipe, you no longer need to hover over a skillet and flip pancakes one by one. You can follow this baked pancake recipe to make an entire sheet pan of pancakes for your family. It makes 10 large rectangle pancakes! And since they are so low in points, you might even want two of ‘em.

Although this is a homemade pancake batter, it comes together incredibly quickly, thanks to the use of self-rising flour. Aside from that, you just need simple ingredients! This even works as a make-ahead recipe since you can make the pancakes and then freeze them. Whenever you need a quick and easy breakfast, just pop one of the pancakes in the microwave or air fryer to reheat it, and you can be on your way.

You might’ve seen sheet pan pancakes trending on TikTok. They’ve been super popular on social media for a while now. But I knew I could make a healthy pancake recipe that wouldn’t cost nearly as many WW points as the recipes that have been going around. And also one that is low-fat and low-calorie. These pancakes came out to just 87 calories and 1.3 grams of fat each. Incredible!

They are lower in points because I swapped the butter for applesauce and used monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar. But you would never guess! They are so incredibly fluffy and light. Perfect for absorbing maple syrup or topping with fresh fruit, fat-free whipped cream, or other garnishes.

Serve these pillowy pancakes with fruit salad, oatmeal, breakfast sausage, or just some classic scrambled eggs! They taste incredible with all sorts of breakfast foods.

Ingredients in Weight Watchers Sheet Pan Pancakes

• 2 ½ cups Self-rising flour
• ⅓ cup Monk fruit sweetener with erythritol (or granulated sugar)
• ½ tsp Cinnamon
• 2 Eggs
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract
• 4 oz Unsweetened applesauce
• Optional: desired toppings

Instructions for making Weight Watchers Sheet Pan Pancakes

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients with a whisk.

2. Separately, mix all of the wet ingredients together, then add them to the dry ingredients.

3. Gently fold the batter until the flour is incorporated. Some small lumps are okay. Don’t over-mix because it will make the pancakes’ texture tough.

4. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, gather any toppings that you want to bake into the top of the pancakes.

5. Give the pancake batter one more stir with the whisk to make sure there are no pockets of flour that you missed. Transfer the batter to a greased half-sheet pan (13 x 18 inches) and sprinkle on any preferred mix-ins.

6. Bake the pancakes for 12 to 16 minutes or until done. To check if they are done, press your finger gently on the top, and the pancake will spring back instead of leaving an indentation.

7. Serve warm with desired garnishes!

Variations and Substitutions

• All-purpose Flour: If you don’t have self-rising flour, no worries. You can simply use all-purpose flour and add 1 tbsp baking powder and ½ tsp salt to the recipe, and it will turn out the same. 
• Milk: If you use skim milk, it will be 4 points per pancake instead of 3.
• Sugar vs. Sweetener: You can use granulated sugar in place of monk fruit. It will raise the points to 5 points per pancake.
• Sheet-Pan Pancakes with Sausage: Cook some sausage in a skillet and then crumble it over the pancake batter for a sweet and savory breakfast.
• Buttermilk Sheet Pan Pancakes: Use low-fat buttermilk in place of the almond milk for a slightly tangy undertone.
• Other Mix-Ins: Add sprinkles, nuts, apples, raspberries, dark chocolate chips, or other yummy ingredients to take the flavor to the next level!
• Reduce the Points: Cut the pancakes into 14 servings to create smaller, 2-point portions.
• Pumpkin Pancakes: Add some pumpkin puree to the batter to make yummy pumpkin-y pancakes! This will bring out the flavors of cinnamon and add more fiber.

Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Sheet Pan Pancakes

• Make ahead pancakes: Mix the dry ingredients to make your own “pancake mix” that you can use whenever you want to make the Sheet pan pancakes recipe. This can save some time. Also, as mentioned, you can entirely bake the pancakes and freeze them to warm up later.
• It’s crucial to thoroughly spray the sheet pan so that the pancakes don’t stick when they bake. You can also use parchment paper, but you must be careful when you cut the pancakes since the paper will be soft, and you don’t want to accidentally tear it.
• The pancakes don’t get much color on top, so color isn’t necessarily the best indicator of their readiness. You can gently press them with your finger, and if they spring back up, they are done! You can also insert a knife into them to see if it comes out clean.
• How to store sheet pan pancakes: Transfer the sliced pancake pieces to a large gallon-sized resealable bag or an airtight container. I suggest refrigerating them.
