Instructions
Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or grease with oil or butter. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, almond milk, applesauce, yogurt and vanilla.
Add flour mixture into the liquid mixture and whisk until blended. Allow blended batter to rest for about 5 minutes for super fluffy pancakes.
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure out batter for each pancake (about 54 grams/pancake) and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. They should be golden brown on each side. Enjoy with toppings of your choice; such as butter, maple syrup, nut butter, chopped nuts and/or fresh fruit.
Notes
To Keep Pancakes Warm: To keep pancakes warm in between batches, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Once the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a large baking sheet and put them in the oven to stay warm.Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I typically store my leftover pancakes in large zip-top baggies.Freezing Pancakes: These pancakes freeze really well! I often make a huge batch to enjoy through the week. Once the cooked pancakes have cooled to room temperature transfer them to a large baking sheet to flash-freeze them. When they are frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or zip-top baggies. Simply reheat in the microwave or toaster and you have a delicious, healthy breakfast ready-to-go super quick!
