🥞 VEGAN SHEET PAN PANCAKES 🥞 These have bee 🥞 VEGAN SHEET PAN PANCAKES 🥞  These have been on repeat the past couple of weekends and for good reason: they’re so EASY to make! Simply use my “Easy Vegan Pancake” recipe found on my blog and depending on the size of pan you’re using you’ll 2x, 3x or 4x the recipe!  My suggestions:  9x9 pan - 2x recipe, bake at 350° for 20 mins
9x13 pan - 3x recipe, bake at 350° for 20-25 mins 
11 x 15 pan - 4x recipe, bake at 350° for 25 mins  The best part? You can customize it how you like! We’ve done chocolate chip 🍫 and blueberries 🫐 - simply add them in after pouring the batter into a pan.  For best cutting results, line pan with parchment! Enjoy!  #sheetpanpancakes #veganpancakes #pancakes #veganbreakfast #veganbreakfastideas #bythecakemama
