Ingredients

Directions

  • Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, applesauce, oil, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Resist overmixing--it will make the pancakes tough.

  • Let the batter sit, without stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes. (As the batter rests, the baking powder forms bubbles that create fluffy pancakes.)

  • Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Without stirring the batter, measure out pancakes using about 1/4 cup batter per pancake and pour into the pan (or onto the griddle). Cook until the edges are dry and you see bubbles on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter, coating the pan with cooking spray and reducing the heat as needed.

Tips

Make-Ahead Tip: The mixture of dry ingredients can be stored airtight for up to 1 month; the batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; cooked pancakes can be frozen airtight, in a single layer, for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour.

Love these. My only problem is I can't get them to not cook completely flat. So it's more like a crispy treat. A delicious treat but certainly Not a pancake. Love when I can find recipes that the kids dig too. Thanks so much. Read More

Tried this recipe without changing anything. It was good not great. Replaced coconut oil with olive oil and store applesauce with my homemade sugar free sauce. Now they are to my taste Great!! When making applesauce I add fresh lemon juice and apple pie spice. I use soymilk. allowing the batter to rest makes a big difference. I also cook for one so I took the extras around to my neighbors every one loved them no one could believe they were vegan.!! Thanx for sharing!raf Read More

Didn't change a thing but am disappointed that my meal planner weighed in at 324 calories per two pancake serving. Will try to work with exchanging the higher caloric ingredients with better options. My normal regular pancakes are 350. Read More

To cut down on the fat and calories I omitted the oil and added water instead. I also used 100% whole wheat flour. I made 16 pancakes 1/4 cup batter each. Now each pancake is only 61 calories 0.8g fat 10.8g carbs 2.2g protein. And 100% delicious! Read More

The taste is great but when I put all the ingredients into my diet app it came with a whopping 252 cals PER PANCAKE. So I don't know where the nutrional info comes from but I stick with the one my app gives me. I want to lose weight and then this could be the difference between gaining or losing weight. Read More

My whole wheat flour tasted a bit old but even so - this recipe was very good. The only change I made was to add a few gratings of fresh nutmeg. Read More
