Start by positioning your oven rack in the middle and preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. This ensures that your pancakes will bake evenly, achieving that perfect golden exterior.
Next, grab a rimmed 18” x 13” sheet pan and spray it with cooking spray. This will not only help with easy removal but also keeps the parchment in place, preventing any mess.
Cut a piece of parchment paper to cover the bottom of the sheet pan completely, about 16 x 20 inches. Lay it down on the pan and spray a bit more oil on the parchment and around the sides. This extra step ensures your pancakes come out effortlessly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until they’re combined, making sure there are no lumps.
Now it’s time to add the wet ingredients! Crack in the eggs, pour in the applesauce, and add the vanilla. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. It should be thick yet pourable.
If you’re using any add-ins, now is the perfect time to fold in your raspberries, blueberries, banana, or chocolate chips. These will give your pancakes a delightful burst of flavor!
Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula. After smoothing it out, give the sheet pan a few gentle taps on the counter to settle the batter.
Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Don’t forget to rotate the pan halfway through for an even bake. You’re looking for a light golden color on the top.
Once baked, allow the pancakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. This helps them set before flipping.
To serve, place a large cutting board over the top of the sheet pan and carefully flip the pancakes onto the cutting board. Cut into 16 squares and dig in while they’re warm!
