Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter.
In a large bowl, whisk the pancake mix, milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour pancake batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it in an even layer to the edges.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the top of the pancake is dry and the edges start to brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares or individual pancakes and serve warm with toppings.
Notes
Expert Tips:
Forget about the directions on the pancake mix package. Yes, you read that right! Please follow my recipe as written for the best results.
If you use wet toppings, like sliced strawberries, blueberries, or bananas, use a towel to remove excess moisture.
Divide the baking sheet into sections so you can try a variety of toppings so that everyone at the table is happy.
Bake the pancakes for about 12-15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
If you have hot spots in your oven, I recommend rotating the baking sheet every 5 minutes for even cooking.
