Applesauce Pancakes

One thing I have been trying to do is find recipes that fit in with the low-fat, low-fiber gastroparesis diet that are also healthy. This is one recipe I found on Food.com that doesn't use eggs or milk and includes applesauce to up the nutritional value of the food. Since my daughter doesn't have diabetes, she drizzle them with maple syrup. In addition, everyone else in the family likes them as well, so we don't have to cook something different for Faith.

Applesauce Pancake Recipe:
2 cups white flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup applesauce
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Canola or Olive Oil cooking spray

1. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.

2. In a second bowl, combine water, applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla.

3. Add liquid ingredients to dry ones and beat together until there are no lumps.

4. Preheat griddle or skillet to 350 degrees. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

5. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto griddle or skillet. Cook pancakes have a bubbly surface. Turn pancakes and cook until the undersides are golden brown. You will need to gently press the pancakes down after you have turned them if you like your pancakes thin.
