Low-Fat Gluten-Free Applesauce Pancakes For Two!

If you’re looking for a quick, low-fat, gluten-free pancake for a quick morning, then look no further! We have created a recipe to make two fun teddy-bear-sized pancakes for you and your spouse or your kids or your roommate or your best friend to enjoy!

In the picture above, I used HALF the batter to make both the big bear and the little bear as a quick test batch. So you can make yourself two good-sized teddy-bear pancakes with the full batter OR make one big bear and then about 2-4 little teddy bear faces as you prefer!

Ingredients

-40 grams applesauce
-20 grams oat flour (make sure they’re gluten-free!)*
-20 grams protein powder (vegan or whey)
-1 egg
-1/8 tsp salt
-1/8 tsp baking soda
-1-2 tbsp almond milk (or more as needed)

*If you can’t find gluten-free oat flour, you can just take old-fashioned gluten-free rolled oats, blend them in a blender or food processor until it’s a flour-like consistency, and then keep in a mason jar until you’re ready to use them again!

Steps

Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl and whisk together until smooth. You may need to use a little bit more almond milk to get your pancake batter to get to the right consistency.

Loosely cover your bowl with paper towels and let sit for at least an hour to let the batter “settle.” (If you’re in a hurry, you can skip this step!

Cook on your griddle, electric skillet, or stovetop for at least 2-4 minutes per side, and then flip. (Depending on the device you’re using, it may take more/less time). Cook at least two more minutes until cooked through and then transfer to a plate.

Feel free to use bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips to make the face of the teddy bear! We used chocolate chips for the eyes and sliced banana wedges for the ears!
