Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or melted butter
- 1 for greasing the pan Cooking spray or additional oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and cooking oil or melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread slightly, 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 an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of nut butter.
