Method 1: Make a Big Batch of Pancakes and Keep Warm
This one will still take time, but the goal is for everyone to have pancakes when sitting down at the breakfast table. Choose your favorite pancake recipe and as they come off the griddle, place them on a baking sheet ($13, Walmart) in a 300°F oven. Loosely cover with foil (to keep them from drying out) until all the pancakes are cooked. Serve and dig in!
Method 2: Make Your Pancakes Ahead
Get on top of your breakfast game by making your pancakes ahead. To really preserve the just-made taste of homemade pancakes, it’s a good idea to make a batch and freeze them until ready to enjoy. Come breakfast time, place the pancakes in a single layer baking sheet covered with foil. Bake in 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until heated through.
Method 3: Go for Baked Pancakes
Yes, you can also make oven-baked pancakes that are just as delicious as the griddled kind. With just 15 minutes of prep time, you can have sheet-pan pancakes (like our sweet apple pancake recipe pictured above) ready for baking to serve a whopping 12 people. Got a smaller crowd? Try a puffed oven-baked pancake with brown sugar and bananas or some mini ones with fruit.
