Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
-
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
-
1 3/4 cups flour
-
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
-
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/4 cups milk
-
3/4 cup applesauce
-
1/3 cup molasses
-
1/4 cup oil
-
1 egg
-
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
-
2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan combine the syrup, cranberries, orange zest and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat but keep warm.
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, wheat flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, soda, and salt.
- In a smaller bowl whisk the egg. Whisk in the milk, applesauce, molasses, and oil.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg mixture. Stir until just moistened; batter will be lumpy.
- Heat a lightly-greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, pour batter onto griddle and cook about 3 minutes total, turning when the surface is bubbly and the edges are dry.
- Serve warm with butter and warm cranberry syrup.
