Instructions
In a large bowl, place the gum-free gluten free flour blend, baking powder, salt and optional granulated sweetener, and whisk to combine.
Add the yogurt, applesauce, eggs and milk, and mix gently until just combined. Don’t try to smooth out any lumps. The batter should be thickly pourable. Add water by the teaspoonful if your batter seems too thick to pour.
Heat a griddle to 350°F or a skillet until hot, and coat lightly with cooking oil spray.
Using a medium-sized ice cream scoop or large spoon, place about 1 1/2 tablespoonsful of batter into portions on the hot surface and spread gently into a round.
Allow to cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles have broken through the surface and the edges are set about 3/4-inch all around. Flip and continue to cook until set on the underside.
Remove the pancakes, spray the surface again lightly with cooking oil spray, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly and store in the refrigerator or freezer. Warm in the microwave or toaster oven before serving leftovers.
