Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the skim milk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter. If necessary, lightly re-spray the skillet with cooking spray between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or low-fat yogurt.
