Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Low fat milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the low fat milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract, and stir until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour pancake batter onto the skillet, making sure to leave space between each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, and the edges appear slightly dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat cooking with the remaining batter, applying more cooking spray if necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup drizzled over the top.
