Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, applesauce, eggs, melted butter, and honey. Mix thoroughly with a fork until just combined, but do not overmix.

2. Heat a griddle to 350 F or a saute pan over medium heat. Swirl enough butter around the griddle or pan to coat it well. Spoon out between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of batter per pancake (depending on how big you like them!). When the pancakes have begun browning on the bottom and bubbling on the top, 2 to 3 minutes, flip and cook the other side for several more minutes. Transfer them to a plate and repeat to make the rest of the pancakes.

3. Serve with warm maple syrup and a side of fresh fruit.
