Pin ItHow to Make Applesauce Pancakes
- Make the dry mix: Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon together and mix to combine.
- Make the wet mix: Add the egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract together and whisk until well combined.
- Mix the batter: Slowly add the flour mixture to the applesauce and egg mixture and whisk to combine.
- Cook: Generously grease a nonstick skillet with butter. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat until hot. For each pancake, drop a quarter cup of applesauce onto the hot skillet. Cook the batter until small bubbles begin to form on the top.
- Flip: Carefully flip the applesauce pancakes and cook on the other side for one to two minutes or until cooked through. Serve warm.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions
To Make Ahead: Applesauce pancakes are perfect for a make-ahead breakfast. Just cook them the night before, let them cool, stack and refrigerate. To reheat them, pop the pancakes in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in a toaster — a quick, effort-free breakfast for busy mornings.
To Freeze: Applesauce pancakes can also be frozen for longer storage. Just cool them, wrap each pancake individually in plastic wrap, and freeze them. Once frozen, stack them and put them in a marked bag. To defrost, unwrap the pancake, pop it in the toaster or microwave, and wait.
