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
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, applesauce, milk, honey, and vanilla until smooth; gradually whisk in the melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined—lumps are okay.
- Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Use about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top (2-3 minutes). Flip and cook until golden brown (about 2 minutes more).
