Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Canola oil
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and canola oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with pure maple syrup.
