Whole Wheat Applesauce Pancakes

I'm loving this fall weather and fall produce! After a trip to Apple Hill I ended up with a ton of apples and quite a few pumpkins and squash.

 

As soon as I got home I bought a nifty apple peeler. It made making applesauce a quick and easy! I also picked up some amazing Apple Butter which inspired this morning breakfast. Whole Wheat Applesauce Pancakes with Apple Butter

Makes 4-5 pancakes

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats, blended in a food processor until fine powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup almond milk
• 1/2 cup applesauce (click here for recipe)

Place the vanilla extract, almond milk and applesauce into a small bowl and whisk. In a large bowl place the wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder & sugar and mix well. Combine the the wet and dry ingredients and mix until all ingredients are moistened. Heat a non-stick skillet to a medium heat. Use a measuring cup and pour 1/3 cups poritons into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
