Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to combine.
Step 2
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 4
If desired, gently fold in mix-ins such as blueberries or chocolate chips.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Step 6
Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake, making sure to space them apart to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 8
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve immediately, topped with your favorite healthy toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
