1. Add whole wheat pastry flour, sweetener of choice, baking powder, and
optional iodized salt to a medium bowl and whisk together with a fork or
whisk.
2. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and add non-dairy milk,
applesauce or mashed banana, and optional vanilla extract. Stir together
lightly - there might still be some lumps and that’s ok.
3. Set aside while you heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat.
Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan and if the water sizzles, the pan is
hot enough!
4. Add 1⁄4-1⁄3 cup scoops of batter to the hot pan and watch for bubbles to form
in the pancakes. When they have cooked for about 45-60 seconds and
bubbles have formed, flip and cook the other side.
5. Serve with Citrus Compote or maple syrup - enjoy!

Optional add-ins (pick one or two): zest of half an orange, blueberries, chopped
strawberries, diced apple, chopped walnuts and/or pecans, raisins, cranberries
