In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense batter.
Fold in the unsweetened applesauce until the batter is smooth but still slightly lumpy.
Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes, which helps achieve fluffier pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the sugar-free eierkuchen warm, with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor and texture.
