Okay, so I’ve been seeing these oven-baked pancakes all over the place, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I mean, who doesn’t love pancakes? But standing over a hot griddle, flipping them one by one? Not my idea of a relaxing morning. This seemed like the perfect solution – all the pancake goodness, way less work.
Getting Started
First things first, I grabbed my trusty box of pancake mix. You know, the “just add water” kind. No shame in my game! I figured, if this is supposed to be easy, let’s keep it really easy. I preheated my oven to 350°F because that is a good temperature.
Mixing it Up
I followed the instructions on the box for the batter. I used:
- Pancake mix Of course, for obvious reasons.
- Water Added to my pancake mix.
I whisked it all together in a big bowl until it was just combined. No need to overmix – a few lumps are totally fine.
Into the Oven
Next, I took my baking sheet. Then put my mixed batter in the * gently put that sheet in the oven.
The Waiting Game
The box didn’t say anything about baking times for a giant pancake, so I just kind of guessed. I set the timer for 15 minutes, and I added some more time, it takes 20minutes. Kept peeking through the oven door, and finally, it looked golden brown and cooked through.
The Moment of Truth
I pulled the sheet pan out of the oven, and wow! It actually worked! It was like one giant, fluffy pancake. I let it cool for a few minutes, ’cause I didn’t want to burn my mouth. Then, I cut it into squares, just like you would with a cake.
Topping Time
Now for the best part! I grabbed all my favorite pancake toppings:
- Butter – Because, butter.
- Syrup – The classic choice.
- Some berries – I use strawberry.
I piled them on, and dug in. Honestly, it was so good! The pancake was soft and fluffy, and it had that perfect pancake flavor. And the best part? No flipping! No mess! Just one big, delicious pancake, ready to be devoured.
I’m definitely making this again. It’s perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast, or even for a crowd. So easy, so yummy, and everyone can customize their own slice with their favorite toppings. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!
