  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.

  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce until evenly distributed.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
