Allergy friendly tray bake pancake recipe

Our family loves pancakes. And while we all love a good stack of pancakes with maple syrup, as the head chef I really love this recipe for one reason. I can bake one big tray of pancake to serve everyone at once. Instead of standing in the kitchen flipping pancakes for everyone else, I can even sit down and enjoy a serve too.

Unlike some other allergy friendly recipes, these tray bake pancakes use simple ingredients and can easily be adjusted to suit different allergies. For example, we use oat milk but you could also use any other non-dairy milk that is suitable for your allergies, like soy or almond.

For a wheat and gluten free version, you can substitute the self raising flour with your preferred gluten free flour. Just be aware that the pancake batter may not rise as much and may be more dense. You also may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Just keep an eye on the pancake while it is baking and test with a skewer to make sure it is cooked all the way through.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups of self-raising flour
• 2 cups of non dairy milk (we use oat milk)
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 500g of mixed berries (blueberries. raspberries and strawberries)
• Icing sugar to dust
• Maple syrup to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).

Grease and line a baking tray (approximately 33 x 23 x 5cm or 13 x 9 x 2 inches).

Prepare the berries by washing and patting dry with paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Hull and slice the strawberries.

Place dry ingredients (flour and sugar) in a bowl and mix. Add wet ingredients (non dairy milk, vegetable oil. and vanilla) and whisk to form a batter.

Pour the pancake batter in to the prepared tray and spread evenly, making sure the surface is smooth.

Add half of the berries to the top of pancake mixture, gently pressing them in evenly over the surface of the batter. Keep the other half of the berries aside for serving.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the surface starts to turn golden and a skewer inserted into the batter stays clean.

To add a golden brown finish to your tray bake pancakes, pop the tray under a medium grill for 1 to 2 minutes to finish.

Allow to cool in the pan for a minute or two. Lightly dust the pancake with sieved icing sugar.

Cut the pancake into 8 pieces and serve while still warm. Serve with the extra berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Some important things to note:

• We used fresh berries in our recipe, but you can use frozen ones. Just make sure to defrost the berries according to the instructions on the packet and make sure they are not damp. Frozen berries can add extra moisture to the mix.
• You can add other ingredients to your pancake tray bake – try other fruits or dairy free chocolate chips (I use Sweet William baking chocolate chips or Enjoy Life semi sweet mini chocolate chips).
