Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 serving cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, egg white, vanilla extract, honey, and unsweetened applesauce. Whisk until well-blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite fruit or low-fat toppings.
