How to Make Fat Free Ginger Molasses Pancakes

  1. Preheat your griddle or frying pan to medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, and ¼ cup molasses.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. Lightly grease your griddle or pan with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.
  8. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as chunky cinnamon applesauce.
