Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Frog Prince's first words upon biting into these pancakes - "Man, these are cinnamony".

My first words, "These are so light and fluffy!".

We both loved them.

The recipe comes from The Sister's Cafe, and I adapted the recipe to make it a bit healthier for us.  First, I used white whole wheat flour, reduced the oil to 1 T and changed up the syrup quite a bit.  We'll certainly be making these again.

Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Pancakes - Adapted from The Sister's Cafe

Pancakes
2 eggs
2 C white whole wheat flour
1 C milk
1 C applesauce {we used homemade}
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 T (yes, Tablespoons) baking powder
1 T olive oil


Syrup
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 C corn syrup
heaping 1/3 C sugar
1/8 C water
1/2 C evaporated milk

Lightly beat the two eggs in a large bowl.

Add in the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, applesauce, oil and milk.  Stir until just moist.  Allow the batter to sit for just a few minutes while pre-heating your griddle to 350-375.

Use a soup ladle to spread the batter on the griddle.  Cook until a few bubbles form, and then flip.

While pancakes are cooking away, combine all the ingredients except the evaporated milk together in a saucepan.  Heat until sugar is dissolved and then bring to a slow boil for 1-2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add in the evaporated milk.

Serve warm, fluffy, cinnamony pancakes to your family and friends.  They will love them.

Enjoy!
