Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing the skillet)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet with more butter as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.
