Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups low-fat milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well-combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients: unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, low-fat milk, and honey (or maple syrup). Whisk until smooth and uniform.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet. Spread it slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet with non-stick cooking spray as necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a small amount of nut butter.
