Rum and Raisin Sheet Pan Pancakes

Easy Rum and Raisin Sheet Pan Pancakes: A No-Flip Recipe for Delicious Breakfast & Brunch

Growing up, Rum and Raisin ice cream was an absolute delight, and its unique flavor profile remains a personal favorite. This cherished taste inspired me to transform it into an effortlessly delicious breakfast: easy Rum and Raisin Sheet Pan Pancakes! Forget the hassle of flipping individual pancakes; these baked beauties are a game-changer for busy mornings and leisurely brunches alike. What makes the raisins in these pancakes even better than those in ice cream? When baked, they become incredibly plump, juicy, and bursting with natural sweetness, infusing every bite with warmth and flavor.

Raisins are a fantastic natural sweetener, reducing the need for excessive added sugar in recipes. To ensure these pancakes are enjoyable for the whole family, I opt for rum extract, which delivers that signature rum flavor without any alcohol. This recipe stands out for its incredible ease and, most importantly, the complete absence of flipping! Whether it’s a special Pancake Day celebration, a relaxed weekend brunch, or even a quick weekday breakfast, these sheet pan pancakes fit the bill. Their simplicity means you can even prepare them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator or freezer, making meal prep a breeze. For a complete meal, these delightful pancakes pair wonderfully with a Classic Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Dressing and savory Air Fryer Turkey Sausages.
