In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the low-fat milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will have small lumps, which is okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, using a ladle or measuring cup.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying nonstick cooking spray as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite low-fat toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of low-fat yogurt.
