Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk is best)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Melt the butter: Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, milk, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just incorporated. Do not over-mix; some lumps are okay. The batter should be thick.
- Cook pancakes: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter onto the griddle and cook until browned on both sides. Serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter for fluffy pancakes.
- Whole milk is recommended for a richer flavor.
- You can add blueberries or bananas to the batter for extra flavor.
