Cinnamon Applesauce Pancakes

By: The Toasty Kitchen

Ingredients

1 cup (120 g) all purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup (255 g) unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-3 tablespoons water, as needed

Directions

• To a bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to remove clumps.
• Add egg, applesauce, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Stir until JUST combined. If your batter looks too thick to pour (this depends on your brand of applesauce), add 1-3 tablespoons of water and stir to incorporate.
• Let the finished batter sit for 5 minutes. During this time, heat up a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
• Measure about ⅓ cup of batter into your hot skillet for each pancake. Once you see bubbles across the pancake and the edges look dry, flip the pancake over (this takes about 2 minutes depending on the heat of your skillet). Cook the second side until lightly browned and cooked through in the middle. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes with your favorite maple syrup, whipped cream, or fruit compote.
