Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups natural chunky apple sauce
• 1 3/4 cup skim milk
• 2 eggs
• Pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• large mixing bowl
• whisk
• skillet
• pecans (optional)
• butter

1. Combine whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add apple sauce, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to dry ingredients and whisk for 1 minute. Avoid over mixing batter. Over mixing can cause pancakes to be to heavy. Some lumps should remain.

2. 
    

   Heat skillet over medium setting. Place small pad of butter on hot skillet and ladle batter into 4 inch circles.

3. 
    

   Let cook until bubbles appear in the center. Add pecans if desired. Flip pancakes once and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from pan.

4. 
    

   Serve pancakes immediately with fresh fruit, preserves, apple butter or a very light dusting of powdered sugar instead of maple syrup, which is high in calories and sugar.
