Brownie Batter Pancakes

(Serving size 6-8 silver-dollar pancakes)

• 1/4 cup spelt, white, or ap of flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp dutch cocoa (Note: You can substitute this for regular cocoa, but I haven’t tried it in this recipe and therefore can’t personally vouch for the taste)
• 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice
• 1/16 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tbsp applesauce or oil (Note: I use 1 tbsp oil and 1/2 tbsp applesauce, as I don’t like the taste of fat-free pancakes)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 4-5 tbsp milk of choice

Mix dry ingredients very well, then add wet. Make pancakes!
