Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 2 large Egg white
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.75 cup Fresh strawberries (diced)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying the cooking spray as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topped with additional fresh strawberries or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
