Sift all dry ingredients together. Add apple sauce and water and mix until batter drips from spoon (but not too runny).

Heat frying pan and spray with low-fat cooking spray. Dip your finger in some water and flick it onto the surface of the pan. If it sizzles, go for it.

Makes about 8 cakes.

Laddle about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and let it cook until small bubbles form in the center. Flip. Keep completed pancakes warm in a preheated oven covered with a paper towel to keep the moisture in.


Serve with a low-fat butter substitute and low-fat maple syrup. For a special treat, make the batter with either 1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup blueberries.

I agree with Nadette. If you just replace a little of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose, the consistency is a lot better and the taste is better.

I'll make these tomorrow but use skim milk with a tbsp of vinegar to make buttermilk, and I'll add stevia instead of brown sugar. Then I will add sweet potato and a few pecans.

These are better if you use 3/4 cup wheat flour and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. You get a better batter constancy. I agree with other comments about a little more sugar and hint of vanilla.

I also increased the brown sugar to 2 Tablespoons and added a dash of vanilla. Good for a simple, whole-wheat pancake.

I added 2 tbs of brown sugar instead of 1, fat free milk instead of water, added an extra tablespoon of apple sauce and a teaspoon of honey... very good!

Not impressed at all. I debated subbing out the water for milk and really should have. These were very plain. Couldn't taste the applesauce at all. I threw them away.

I made the changes some reviewers suggested: 2 Tbs brown sugar (instead of 1) and used fat free milk instead of water. I also added half a banana to the batter once it was on the griddle. Sooo good! The batter was a little thick, but I didn't sift ad I just added some water to fix it. Again, I thought they were wonderful and better than regular pancakes as well as better for you! Thanks for the recipe! :-)

Delicious pancakes! I'm a pancake lover so I am glad there is a healthy option. I added flax seed to the batter (for health, not taste) and I always use sugar free maple syrup. Yum :-)

Great recipe! I used low fat (1%) milk instead of water and used 2 tbsps brown sugar instead of one. The consistency was perfect. We used a little bit of both low fat margarine and powdered sugar as a glaze and topped with sliced bananas. It seemed like this recipe only made about six pancakes (2 for each person-therefore three people). However, I'm sure it woud have made more if I had made them a bit smaller. Wonderful way to add whole wheat into your diet. I will definitely make these again!

Recipe Rating (out of 5):

As prepared these are OK; I like them sweeter (doubled amount of brown sugar) and fluffier (used 1/2 part skim milk in place of 1/2 part water - you''ll need to add just a bit more water to get the batter to the right consistency this way) as well as 1 tsp Vanilla extract. Also used 1/3 cup blueberries.

Texture was good, but the taste wasn't great. I like a little sweeter pancake experience. Maybe I'll try some of the suggestions here and add some fruit.

I added some flaxseed and bananas. It was okay, pretty good. The consistency was fine, I just prefer a little sweeter.

Yum! I mixed in 2 mashed bananas and about 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the wet ingredients, and added about 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the dry ingredients. I made sure to sift the dry ingredients as well. These came out great, and I feel good about eating them since they are whole grain and low-fat. Fantastic recipe!

The pancakes tend to be more dense than light/fluffy, but they still taste delicious! I added a lot of cinnamon and some nutmeg. I also added the blueberries for antioxidants and a bit more sweetness. Everyone wanted seconds!

I had no problem with the density. I however substituted fat-free soy milk for the water and added 1/4 cup of a real egg product (Land of Lakes)to the recipe. With some nuts, fruit and low-fat yogurt it makes a great breakfast.
