Cinnamon Applesauce Pancakes
If you’ve ever wondered how to make pancakes even more delicious, adding applesauce and cinnamon is the secret. The applesauce makes these pancakes moist and adds a hint of sweetness, while the cinnamon gives them a warm, comforting flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the applesauce, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more grease to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings! Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream all go wonderfully with these pancakes.
