Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the egg lightly and then stir in the milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Step 4
Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully into the pancake batter.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 6
Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray to the skillet as necessary to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm, and enjoy your low-fat chocolate chip pancakes with your favorite toppings or a side of fresh fruit.
