Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for cooking
- 1 tablespoon Monk fruit sweetener (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional monk fruit sweetener if using.
In another bowl, beat the egg lightly and then add milk, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if the batter has small lumps.
Let the batter sit for a few minutes while you preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add butter or oil to the skillet and swirl to coat. The skillet should be hot but not smoking.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or sliced bananas.
