In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes Mix and low sodium baking powder to ensure they are well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add water, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some small lumps are okay.
Optionally, add cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor, and fold it in lightly.
Preheat a non-stick griddle or a skillet over medium heat. To test if the surface is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water onto it; if they dance and sizzle, it's ready.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface, and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with fresh fruit, berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
