Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the brown sugar and break up any clumps so it’s evenly mixed in. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Make a little well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir everything together until just combined—if the batter feels too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it up.

Step 2
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on top and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes until the other side is nicely browned. Keep going until you’ve used up all the batter, adding a bit more oil if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
