I’m all about eating well to honor my body and fuel my sports goals.  Superfood Sheet Pan Pancakes with Trail-Mix Topping are a delicious breakfast or snack that can be prepped all at once in a sheet pan and then portioned out through the week (or frozen for later). 

I’m been making various forms of baked pancakes in a sheet pan for years. I can be a little fuzzy and rushed in the morning and need a nutritious meal that’s ready to go (and get my engine going) with just a little reheating! I love the convenience of making a huge batch at once, and not having to stand around babysitting them on a griddle.

I also love the convenience of using a pancake mix – the right pancake mix for my life. I found PRANACAKES™ and BRAINCAKES™  from LivingPrana.co and am a fan of this functional blend of superfoods ready for pancake and waffle making – just add water (and whatever add-ins and toppings you desire).

I made my pancake sheet pan recipe using the superfood pancake mix – PRANACAKES™ The mix blends together nine superfoods including Cordyceps Mushrooms, Maca, Cacao, Spirulina, Sacha Inchi, Ashwagandha and more. I’m into “feeling good like I should” and these foods help support my vitality. The mix (and my recipe) is vegan, gluten-free, grain-free dairy-free and a good source of fiber and other important nutrients to optimize my workouts and recovery.

Making my pancakes was fun and easy, with tasty results! I made a few tweaks to the simple “just-add-water” instructions, but not many – and not difficult. For example, the Living Prana mix contains Ceylon cinnamon, yum!  I’m a mega cinnamon fan, so I added even a little more to my sheet pan recipe. Per the bag Nutrition Facts, mix does have a good amount of protein (7g per ser serving) – which is great for a pancake mix. I like to bump up my pancakes as close as I can to 20g, so I added some plant-based protein powder -easy, peasy! This is optional.

I also created a Trail Mix Topping from an assortment of nuts, seeds and dried fruit. I used about ¼ cup EACH of: chopped dates, chopped dried apricots, chopped pecans, sunflower seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut. Feel free to swap out any of these ingredients for another type nut/seed/fruit you prefer.

Some things I noticed while making up the PRANACAKES™ batter was that it was thick in consistency and an earthy dark green color, indicating to me how many amazing nutrients and superfoods it is actually packed with. Baking up, it turns deeper brown – that’s normal. When stirring up the batter, add a little more or less water, as needed (if omitting protein power, also reduce water from 3 cups to 2 cups to start with). You want the batter to stay fairly thick and not runny, so that when you pour it into the sheet pan, the toppings will stay on top and not sink to the bottom. Nobody ever wanted their toppings at the bottom of the pancake!

Bake up for about 20 – 25 minutes. Cut into eight servings (very generous sized) and enjoy! Drizzle with a syrup of choice, if desired. However, the Trail Mix Topping lends enough sweetness that you can eliminate a sticky mess (and utensils) by just grabbing a pancake square and go, eating with your hands like a big, flat muffin! I call this winning the day by 7am!

Keep leftovers wrapped up air-tight in the fridge for three to four days, then reheat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. If eight servings are more that you can polish off in a few days, simply cool pancake squares and keep in the freezer individually portioned in freezer zip-top bags. Then it’s just grab, defrost and reheat to fuel up your busiest days with good stuff!

Course: Breakfast, brunch, Snack

Keyword: paleo, pancakes, sheetpan, superfoods, vegan

Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

• Cooking Spray of choice eg: coconut, avocado, etc.
• 15 oz. package, PRANACAKES™ SUPERFOOD PANCAKE & WAFFLE MIX
• 2/3 cup vanilla plant-based protein power* may omit (reduce water to 2 cups)
• 2 teaspoons ground Ceylon cinnamon
• 3 cups water more or less to achieve thick but pourable consistency
• ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ¼ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ cup sunflower seeds
• ¼ cup chopped dates about 4
• ¼ cup chopped apricots about 6

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350F.

2. Mix together pancake mix, protein powder (if using) and cinnamon.

3. Add 3 cups of water and stir until combined. Batter should be thick (not runny) so that trail mix topping added in next step doesn’t sink. But if it seems TOO thick, stir in water a couple tablespoons at a time. *AND, if omitting protein powder, start with 2 cups of water.
4. Spray approximate 13” x 18” rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and pour in batter.
5. Toss together chopped up toppings to make your own “trail mix.” It’s fine to swap out any nut/seed/dried fruit with another variety that you prefer. Total toppings will equal about 1 ¼ cup or so.

6. Sprinkle batter evenly with the topping.

7. Bake for 20- 25 minutes, or until set and not jiggly in pan. Batter will have turned from dark green to dark brown. Remove and let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
8. Slice into 8 “squares,” and serve alone or with syrup or toppings of choice.
9. Store leftovers in fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. OR, freeze in single portions, stored in zip top freezer bag or container. Defrost and reheat on busy mornings.
