In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they become a fine flour-like consistency.
Transfer the ground oats to a mixing bowl and add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg white, low-fat milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of the spoon to form a circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
