Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) while preparing the remaining pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
