Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or a small amount of oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk), and vanilla extract until well blended.
Step 3
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if necessary.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, re-coating the skillet with cooking spray or oil as needed.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
