Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk
  • 2 tbsp honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, milk, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, then stir in the melted butter.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy—don’t over-mix!
  5. Cook Pancakes: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Scoop scant ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
  6. Cook until bubbles form and the bottom is golden, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until browned on both sides.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add some blueberries or sliced bananas to the batter.
  • You can also top the pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey for a delicious twist.
