Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter, for greasing the skillet
- maple syrup or additional applesauce (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the ingredients to fully hydrate and results in fluffier pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Use the back of the measuring cup to slightly spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer finished pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, additional applesauce, or your favorite toppings.
