What you need
- Finely Ground Almond Flour – Not to be confused with almond meal. Almond flour is softer and usually finer made from blanched almonds. Almond meal is ground almonds that still have their skin on which makes it a little grittier.
- Baking Powder – Needed to help it rise, especially when using flour that contains no gluten.
- Ground Cinnamon – Adds a lovely hint of cinnamon, which is always a good idea!
- Finely Ground Sea Salt – Brings all the flavors together nicely. Fine sea salt is better than coarse salt, because it distributes through the batter more evenly. Regular table salt will work too.
- Eggs – You’ll need 2 large eggs for this recipe to help bind everything together.
- Almond Milk – You can use any milk you’d like including oat milk, coconut milk, or any dairy milk.
- Pure Maple Syrup – It’s used as an ingredient in the pancake batter itself. Not just as a topping! Don’t use the artificial stuff.
- Vanilla Extract – Using vanilla extract adds warmth and a flavor that pairs so well with cinnamon, and blueberries.
- Fresh Blueberries – Be sure to wash them! Frozen will also work, if blueberries aren’t in season, or frozen is all you have.
How to make it
Preheat the oven and spray a half-sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until well-combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined.
Pour the pancake mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly on the pan.
Sprinkle the blueberries over the pancake batter and bake until golden brown.
Using a pizza cutter is great for cutting even pieces! Serve immediately.
FAQs
Not all flours are created equal. Unfortunately, there is not a good substitute for almond flour in this recipe since it is the only flour used.
That’s not to say you can’t make gluten-free sheet pancakes with alternative flours such as buckwheat, gluten-free all-purpose, or even coconut flour. You can. It’s just that it would take a different recipe (check out all of our gluten-free recipes!) using different ingredients (xanthan gum, for example) and different measurements. For this one, stick with the almond flour!
Yes, that would work fine. Cook over medium-low heat on a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
How to make these sheet pan pancakes your own
- Double the recipe for full sheet pan size for a larger (or hungrier) crowd.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, almond butter, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, strawberry sauce, or a sprinkling of powder sugar.
- Substitute blueberries for another type of berry or sliced fruit. Add in some chocolate chips too!
- Swirl in some peanut butter or your favorite fruit jam.
- Add a little lemon zest to the batter for a lemon blueberry combination.
Storage Suggestions
Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. They also freeze well for up to 2 months, but should be separated by parchment paper, so that they don’t stick together.
Reheating Tips
To reheat from frozen you can put them back in the oven to bake at 350ºF until warmed through, or a few at a time in the microwave for 20 second intervals.
Top them!
These pancakes are great with a variety of toppings, but we love them with blueberry sauce, strawberry sauce, or this simple two ingredient lemon glaze. Of course, you can never go wrong with chocolate syrup, either.
