In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the applesauce, egg, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray.
Once the skillet is hot, scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Spread it slightly to form an even circle.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite dairy-free toppings, such as additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
