Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Egg white
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Grated apple
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 as needed Maple syrup or honey (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Fold the grated apple into the batter gently.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet lightly with non-stick cooking spray as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm. Optionally, drizzle with a small amount of maple syrup or honey for sweetness.
