🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing the skillet)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

4. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.

5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

6. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet with more butter as needed.

8. Serve the pancakes warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.
