Print Recipe

Fluffy, spiced pancakes with the natural sweetness of applesauce, creating a moist and tender breakfast treat. These wholesome pancakes have a delightful autumnal flavor and pair perfectly with maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¾ cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ½ cup diced apples
  • ¼ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix applesauce, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients; stir until just combined (small lumps are okay). Fold in optional add-ins if using.
  4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat (375°F if electric).
  5. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Flip and cook 1-2 more minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup, yogurt, or additional applesauce.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes: Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking
  • Dairy-free option: Use almond milk and coconut oil
  • Storage: Freeze between parchment paper for up to 2 months
  • Flavor boost: Add ½ tsp apple pie spice to dry ingredients
  • Whole grain version: Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour
