NomEatNom - Whole Wheat Applesauce Pancakes

Yesterday when I shared the recipe for our Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Overnight Oats on our Facebook page, a reader mentioned that she was having banana pancakes for breakfast.

Ooooooo, pancakes!!

I have to admit, it had been waaaaaayyyyyyy too long since I’d made some!

I left from my computer inspired — and on a mission for moist, delicious, nommy pancakes!

It should go without saying that these most definitely hit the spot.

After all, don’t pancakes always hit the spot?! 😉

Whole Wheat Applesauce Pancakes
(Yields 14 four-inch pancakes)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 T aluminum-free baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
3/4 cup pure, unsweetened applesauce
1 cup yogurt whey (You can substitute with buttermilk, if needed.)
1 egg
Raw walnuts, for sprinkling (optional)

Combine the flour, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl and stir to mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, whey, and egg.

Pour the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until the dry ingredients are moist.

Your batter is now ready!

Prepare the pancakes according to your liking. We have a pancake maker that we adore — mainly because it’s so stinkin’ easy to use, and the pancakes always come out so pretty. 🙂 That being said, you could certainly use a griddle with a bit of coconut oil, too!

Serve hot, topped with pure, Grade B maple syrup or raw honey. Sprinkle with raw walnuts, if desired.
