Healthy Applesauce Pancakes With No Sugar Added

rachelallen828's Note:

These pancakes freeze very well! Make them small for toddlers to hold or larger for the rest of the family. I like to use flavored (blueberry, strawberry, etc) applesauce without any added sugar. If you use a flavored applesauce, you may omit the vanilla flavoring. The flavors are great so that there is no need for syrup! This recipe is adapted from www.wholesometoddlerfood.com

I added more milk to have a thinner consistency. I used unsweetened applesauce. They were great. But we ate them with maple syrup, a classic here. Thanks rachelallen :) Made for PAC Spring 2012

Made these with unsweetened applesauce and they didn't need any additional sugar! I did add a little more milk to thin the batter out but otherwise made as written. Made for 2012 Spring PAC.

We thoroughly enjoyed your pancakes, but I have to admit to having used some homemade applesauce that had a bit of sugar in it! Still, the 'cakes were delicious, & we thank you much for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
