Why We Love Kodiak Cake Sheet Pan Pancakes
- Ready in 15 minutes โ All moms and busy families with busy mornings want this, right? Plus, the kodiak cakes mix is pre-made for you. Just add your liquid of choice, eggs and fruit and itโs possible for weekday mornings.
- Great for picky eatersโ This is a great option for picky eaters because they can add their own toppings. One of my favorite breakfast ideas for toddlers!
- Family friendlyโ Anything with sprinkles is bound to be a favorite among kids! Traditional pancakes are classic, but if you want something fun and different, youโll love these easy sheet pan pancakes! We make them when we have cousins/guests over or just want a one pan breakfast sheet pan for the whole family. Itโs like one giant pancake that you can divy up into smaller portions.
- High in protein โ While it is generally easy to get carbohydrate foods into kids, getting protein in can be harder at times. These sheet pan protein pancakes do the work for you and have protein baked in, plus more from the eggs and milk youโre using.
- Great for lunches and dinners โ Not only are these sheet pan kodiak cakes great for a meal prep breakfast, but they are also an easy re-heat lunch or dinner option and perfect for a weekend brunch. In fact, since they are packed with protein, they can be a great protein idea for kids lunches!

Ingredients
Hereโs what youโll need to make sheet pancakes. Just four simple ingredients!
- Kodiak Cakes Birthday Cake mix โ You can use any Kodiak Cakes mix or homemade pancake mix. I prefer Kodiak cakes because the proportions are already done for you and they are made with whole grains! You can use the plain Kodiak Cake mix if youโd prefer.
- milk of choice โ I prefer dairy milk or soy milk for more protein. However, unsweetened almond milk is great for a light but neutral flavor.
- eggs
- bananas, or any other fruit youโd like to add

Here are some of my favorite optional add-inโs but you should add your favorite pancake toppings!
- fresh fruit
- frozen fruit
- chocolate chips
- chia seeds โ We also love chia seeds in banana chia seed pudding
- greek yogurt
- dried fruit
- vanilla extract or almond extract
- hemp seeds
- flax seeds
- pomegranate seeds
- coconut flakes
- peanut butter or almond butter

How to Make Birthday Cake Sheet Pan Pancakes with Kodiak Cakes
All you need to do is mix your ingredients and then pour batter onto a sheet pan and bake. Older kids could easily make this recipe!
In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry pancakes mix with milk and eggs.

Grease a 13ร18 sheetpan with cooking spray or butter. Add mixed pancake batter to a large sheet pan, spreading it out evenly.
Top with any fruit youโd like and then bake for 12-14 minutes, or until pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
HOT TIP
If youโre using the birthday cake flavor, itโs normal for the sprinkles to sink down into the batter before baking. You will still taste them and see them in the finished product. You can also feel free to add your own into the mix.


Top with your favorite toppings, or serve for a weekend brunch with your other delicious brunch favorites.
Syrup, greek yogurt and fruit are among my favorites.

How to Store Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes
After baking, let them cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze them for up to three months.
