Spiced Applesauce Pancake
Applesauce is an amazing ingredient for baking.
It allows you to cut back on sugar while keeping sweetness in muffins, cakes…and these yummy pancakes.
They’re also made with whole grains instead of white flour and come with warm fall flavor, thanks to the combo of applesauce, ginger, and cinnamon.
Make them for the whole family on a crisp October day. Just don’t forget the fresh Vermont maple syrup.

- Beat egg white and milk in a small bowl. Add the oil and 2 tablespoons of applesauce and stir until just combined.
