Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat; let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix eggs, applesauce, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth; stir in melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  5. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Scoop scant ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on top and the underside is lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes). Flip carefully and cook until browned on the other side (about 2 minutes more).
  7. Serve immediately or keep warm in an oven set at 200°F while finishing cooking.
