Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease the surface with a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or any preferred toppings. Enjoy!
