Ingredients Overview
This fun and easy sheet pan pancakes recipe calls for a simple combination of pantry staples. All-purpose flour forms the base, while granulated sugar adds sweetness. Baking powder and baking soda work together to create a light and fluffy texture, balanced by a touch of salt.
Two large eggs provide richness and structure, and milk adds moisture. A bit of vegetable oil contributes to the tenderness, while two ripe, mashed bananas infuse the pancakes with their sweet flavor.
Finally, a generous cup of chocolate chips adds those irresistible melty pockets of chocolatey goodness throughout.
