Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• To make the pancake batter, start with a medium sized mixing bowl and combine the gluten-free flour, protein powder, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and lemon juice. Then gently fold in the cranberries.
• Pour the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly spread out the batter to cover the entire sheet pan.
• Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the middle is baked through. You can check the center by poking it with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, it's done. If it has batter, continue to cook until the center is cooked through.
• Let cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares. Serve as is or top with fresh maple syrup, powdered sugar, coconut whipped cream, or pecan pieces.

Protein | Vitamin D | Calcium | Iron | Potassium

❓ How Can I Tell If My Baking Powder Is Still Good?

The baking powder will keep for up to 18 months, but it's best when used within 1 year of the date on the package. An easy trick to tell if your baking powder is still active is to place some baking powder into a bowl and pour some hot water over the top. If it bubbles up, you are able to keep using it. If it doesn't do anything, toss it and replace with brand new baking powder.

❄️ How To Store These Light & Fluffy High Protein Sheet Pan Pancakes?

Allow the sheet pan pancakes to cool, and then place the slices into an airtight container inside the refrigerator. They will remain good for a few days. This is why meal preparation is so convenient. Make sure they are completely cool before storing, or otherwise they will get soggy.

🍽️ Can You Reheat Leftover Sheet Pan Pancakes?

To reheat them, simply take out your portion and reheat in the microwave, or even in the oven. If reheating in the oven, I suggest you wrap in aluminum foil so they heat evenly throughout.

❄️ Can You Freeze Leftover Sheet Pan Pancakes?

Yes, you can freeze sheet pan pancakes. Simply wait for them to cool completely, and then layer them between waxed paper inside of a freezer safe container or reusable freezer bag.

🍽️ What to Serve With Gluten-Free Sheet Pan Pancakes?

These easy and healthy protein pancakes are delicious, topped with maple syrup. You can substitute sugar-free if you prefer. Powdered sugar, coconut whipped cream, and pecans are perfect as a topping. The coconut whipped cream will add a healthy fat to balance out the macronutrients of the recipe.
