If you’re looking for breakfast ideas to feed a crowd, whether you have a large family or lot of people staying over for the holidays, this is the easiest way to make everyone happy!
In fact, you could make a couple of sheets and top each one a little differently. The topping options are endless. I prefer a variety of berries or chocolate chips with banana slices.
These do tend to turn out quite a bit thicker and fluffier than traditional pancakes, so you really only need one or two pancakes per serving. I would say each sheet pan will feed about 8 people (unless you’re feeding very large, hungry men or teenage boys).
I know what you might be thinking. It’s kind of intriguing, but why would I make pancakes in a sheet pan if I can just flip them on the stove?
Here is why it’s so much better when you’re serving more than just two people:
- It’s quicker and easier.
- It saves you from standing over the stove flipping one or two pancakes at time.
- It’s all done at the same time, so everyone can enjoy a hot breakfast together.
- The butter is brushed on as soon as it’s out of the oven, so no passing the butter tray around the table.
- You can cut them to any size that you would like (make them sticks for dipping?)
- They taste just as good as regular pancakes, just a little more square.
Let’s get started!
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and pour your pancake batter onto a greased sheet pan.
Top with anything you’d like: berries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, walnuts, cinnamon, peanut butter– go crazy.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a nice golden brown color.
Brush on about half a stick of melted butter. Do it.
Use a pizza cutter or knife to make individual servings. I usually come out with about 15 generously sized pancakes.
Drizzle with syrup and dig in.
Looking for quick and easy breakfast ideas for a crowd? Here is the easiest way to make pancakes for a large family. Great for holiday get-togethers!
- 4 cups Bisquick Pancake Mix
- 2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- toppings of your choice (I used fresh berries)
- 8 tbsp butter (melted)
-
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and generously grease a sheet pan.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk and eggs (you're basically doubling the pancake recipe on the box).
-
Pour the pancake batter onto your greased pan and top with the toppings of your choice.
-
In the center rack, bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.
-
Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the pancakes before serving.
- You can use any classic pancake recipe for this, I'm just a Bisquick kind of gal.
- Serving an extra large crowd? Make 2 sheet pans, and top each one with different toppings for variety.
