Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 1 cup (120g)
• baking powder - 2 teaspoons
• baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• sugar - 2 tablespoons
• milk - 1 cup (240ml)
• large egg - 1
• unsweetened applesauce - 1/4 cup (60ml)
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• apple - 1 medium, peeled and diced
• vegetable oil - for cooking

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Gently fold in the diced apple.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
8. Serve warm with maple syrup, additional diced apples, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
