How to Make Healthy Pancakes Really They Re Healthy

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), ¼ cup applesauce (or unsweetened applesauce), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Mix until just combined; don't overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  3. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk. If it's too thin, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour, mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Gently fold in your desired mix-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped apples & cinnamon, etc.).
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like peanut butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.
  8. Makes approximately 6-8 pancakes (easily doubled for larger families or to make smaller pancakes).
