Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup non-fat milk
• 2 whole egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly combined.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the non-fat milk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well blended.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.

Step 4

Gently stir the mixtures together with a spatula until just combined. Some small lumps in the batter are okay; avoid over-mixing to ensure fluffier pancakes.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Allow to cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more non-stick spray as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve immediately, enjoying them plain or with low-fat toppings like fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
