Whole Wheat Pancakes, Bex Style

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (you can omit this, it just makes the pancakes a little fluffier)

1 egg (beaten)

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon applesauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix dry ingredients well. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour onto hot, nonstick griddle (medium) and flip when edges are not shiny and top is covered with bubbles.

You can add fruit to the pancakes as well. I like to top mine with bananna slices and serve as-is, without syrup. The banannas make a sort of topping for the pancake so it's like syrup. For the kids, I sometimes sprinkle bananna or blueberry pancakes with a little powdered sugar.

The kids don't even know it's healthy. These pancakes are a huge hit when we have sleepovers!
