Healthy Applesauce Pancakes With No Sugar Added

"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"

  1. I also followed the recipe exactly and had the same problem as others. They looked perfect and golden on the outside, but were gooey and undercooked in the middle. I let some of them cook for a while, until they were quite dark on the outside, but still, mushy inside. They tasted alright so we ate them anyway so they wouldn't go to waste. Also, if a recipe says it makes 25 pancakes, it should specify what size those pancakes are. I made mine silver dollar size and I'd be lucky if I got 15 pancakes. Additionally, the recipe also says "serves 6". My toddler and I ate the entire batch and I was still hungry afterwards, so I am not sure how they are figuring this serves 6 people.
     
  2. I created an account just to write this review. Don't waste your time. I wasted mine and my hungry baby's plus the ingredients. I cooked and cooked and cooked these and they stayed gooey in the middle. I even cut them into bite sized pieces and they still wouldn't cook!
     
  3. These would not cook through - I even tried silver dollar size at a lower temp (which took forever) but still gooey and undercooked. All went in the trash. Very disappointing.
     
  4. The center never cooked through. I tried the recipe as is and also added more milk to thin it out. Both efforts turned out goopy in the center.
     
  5. I'm sorry to be a negative nancy but we followed this recipe to the T and it was terrible. The flavor was fine but the pancakes never cooked in the center. To clarify my level of expertise, I make pancakes every week, one or twice a week. I've never had a problem with pancakes that don't cook enough. I think the ratio of applesauce to milk to flour is off. I don't know how to tell people to fix the recipe except to say, don't use that much applesauce.

Tweaks

  1. I'm not the biggest fan of applesauce, so I used a good sized banana instead. Otherwise, these are the best pancakes I've ever had AND they have no added sugar.
