Heat griddle over high heat (to about 375°F).

Combine milk, eggs, oil and applesauce in a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until blended.

Sift in flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Using the whip attachment, mix batter for 15 seconds on low speed. Scrape sides of bowl, then mix for another minute on medium speed.

Portion 1/4 cup onto griddle for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles appear on top and bottom is browned. Flip and cook other side (about 1 minute).

We served the Johnny Appleseed Pancakes with mixed fruit and milk for a balanced meal.

Food for thought: Pancakes are a fun treat that kids can help make. Use whole wheat flour and their favorite fruit to make them a healthy breakfast or snack. To reheat leftover pancakes, try popping them in the toaster.
