Fat-Free Pancakes

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, water, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, spray lightly with cooking spray.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
