Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk (or substitute with almond milk or skim milk)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Preheat the Pan:
   • Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape, if necessary.
   • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
6. Flip and Cook:
   • Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve:
   • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
   • Serve the Low-Calorie Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
   • Enjoy your light and fluffy pancakes guilt-free!

These Low-Calorie Pancakes are the perfect way to start your day on a nutritious and delicious note!
