Start your morning off right with a stack of Mom's Applesauce Pancakes. These fluffy and flavorful pancakes are made with a secret ingredient - applesauce! The added apple flavor makes these pancakes extra delicious and perfect for fall. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream to make it a breakfast to remember. With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you'll have a comforting breakfast on the table in no time.

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

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
