Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 cup Low fat milk
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Cooking spray
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the low fat milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract, and stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour pancake batter onto the skillet, making sure to leave space between each pancake.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, and the edges appear slightly dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat cooking with the remaining batter, applying more cooking spray if necessary.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup drizzled over the top.
