Ingredients for Applesauce Pancakes

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make Applesauce Pancakes

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, and/or extra applesauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
