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
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, milk, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, then stir in the melted butter.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
