Applesauce pancakes with maple syrup

Applesauce pancakes with maple syrup are a delightful breakfast treat that balances the comforting flavors of cinnamon and apples with the sweetness of maple syrup. This recipe is perfect for a cozy morning meal or a special brunch. With whole-grain wheat flour, these pancakes not only taste delicious but also provide a healthy start to your day.

Ingredients:

2 cups whole-grain wheat flour
240g
4 tsp baking powder
20g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup milk (2% fat)
240g
2 cups applesauce
490g
4 tbsp maple syrup
80g
1 tbsp vanilla extract
13g
2 tsp vegetable oil
9g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-grain wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure they are well combined and there are no lumps.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well mixed.
- Add the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the eggs. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
3. Create the Batter:
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Don’t overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- If desired, add a pinch of ground cinnamon to the batter and gently fold it in.
4. Preheat and Grease the Pan:
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup drizzled on top.

Tips:

- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pancakes tough. Mix until just combined, even if there are a few lumps remaining.

- Control the heat: Cooking the pancakes on medium heat ensures they cook evenly without burning. If the skillet is too hot, the pancakes will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining uncooked inside.

- Keep pancakes warm: Keep the cooked pancakes in a warm oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you cook the rest of the batter to ensure they stay warm without drying out.

- Add extra toppings: While these pancakes are delicious on their own, you can enhance them with additional toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

There you have it – a delightful and healthier take on traditional pancakes with the added sweetness and nutritional benefits of applesauce and maple syrup. Enjoy these warm cinnamon applesauce pancakes as a wholesome breakfast or a treat anytime you crave something comforting and delicious.
