In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the nonfat milk, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce, mixing until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. 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. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
Using a tablespoon or a small ladle, pour about 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each silver dollar pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear slightly dry, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1 more minute.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.
Serve warm with a topping of your choice, such as fresh fruit, a small drizzle of syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
