How to Make Light Apple Blueberry Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup of milk, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Add a splash more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick griddle or 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 your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup (use sparingly for a lower-calorie option).
