How to Make Sheet Pan Cinnamon Sugar Protein Pancakes
1. Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Line a 9×11-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it. The parchment paper makes it much easier to remove the pancakes from the pan once they’re baked.
Tip: Leave a little parchment paper hanging over the sides of the pan. This gives you handles that make lifting the finished pancake slab out of the pan much easier.
2. Mix the Pancake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein pancake mix, Greek yogurt, and eggs.
Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Add cinnamon to taste and mix it into the batter.
The Greek yogurt adds moisture and creates a soft texture while also adding extra protein to the pancakes.
3. Add the Cinnamon Sugar
Pour the pancake batter into the prepared 9×11-inch pan and spread it into an even layer.
Generously sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar.
If you love cinnamon, don’t be shy with it! The cinnamon sugar creates a delicious sweet topping as the pancakes bake.
4. Bake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F for approximately 10–12 minutes.
The pancakes should be cooked through and lightly golden around the edges.
Because oven temperatures and pans can vary, start checking them around the 10-minute mark.
5. Make the Cream Cheese Maple Frosting
While the pancakes are baking, prepare the frosting.
Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon to a bowl.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
For the smoothest frosting, make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing.
6. Frost and Serve
Remove the pancakes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Spread the cream cheese maple frosting over the top.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm.
For an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, dust the top with a little additional cinnamon before serving.
Easy Ways to Customize These Protein Pancakes
One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to change up.
Add Fresh Fruit
Try adding sliced bananas, blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries to the batter before baking.
Add Nuts
Chopped pecans or walnuts would be delicious with the cinnamon sugar flavor.
Add Chocolate Chips
For a sweeter breakfast, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the batter before baking.
Make Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Add finely diced apples and extra cinnamon to the batter for an easy apple-cinnamon version.
Add a Little Extra Maple Flavor
Drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over the finished pancakes before serving.
Can You Make These Protein Pancakes Ahead of Time?
Yes! These sheet pan pancakes are great for meal prep.
Allow the pancakes to cool completely, then cut them into individual portions. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
When you’re ready to eat them, simply warm a portion in the microwave or oven.
If you’re meal prepping these, I recommend keeping the frosting separate and adding it just before serving. This helps keep the pancakes from becoming soggy.
How to Store Sheet Pan Pancakes
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.
For longer storage, you can freeze individual portions. Place pieces of parchment paper between the pancakes to prevent them from sticking together.
When you’re ready for breakfast, reheat from frozen or allow them to thaw in the refrigerator first.
What to Serve With Protein Pancakes
These pancakes can easily be a complete breakfast on their own, but they’re also delicious served with:
- Fresh berries
- Sliced bananas
- Scrambled eggs
- Turkey or breakfast sausage
- Greek yogurt
- Fresh fruit
- A small drizzle of maple syrup
- Coffee or your favorite breakfast drink
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different protein pancake mix?
Absolutely. Kodiak is the mix used for this recipe, but you can experiment with another protein pancake mix. Keep in mind that different mixes may absorb liquid differently, so the batter consistency may vary.
Can I make these without the frosting?
Yes! The cinnamon sugar topping makes these pancakes delicious on their own. The cream cheese maple frosting simply adds another layer of sweetness and creaminess.
Can I use regular pancake mix?
You can, although the recipe was specifically developed using protein pancake mix. If you substitute regular pancake mix, the texture and nutritional information will be different.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yes. Cut the cooled pancakes into individual portions, separate them with parchment paper, and store them in a freezer-safe container or bag.
