Healthy Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup

I saw the recipe for this syrup and knew I just had to make it.  Unfortunately, I've been trying to eat healthier (I know, UNFORTUNATELY!) so I figured if I was going to go all sugar crazy with the syrup I should at least TRY to make the pancakes a little healthier.  (waaahhhhh) 

This syrup is fantastic!  I'm thinking how great it would be to drizzle the left overs onto some vanilla ice cream........................... uh, oh, I'm sorry.  I was off in a food fantasy.  These things happen when you're trying to eat healthier.  UNFORTUNATELY.

Recipe from Allrecipes


Ingredients:


1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup wheat germ

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon canola oil

3 egg yolks

5 egg whites

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup milk, or as needed

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions:

In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, and baking powder. Make a well in the center, and stir in the egg yolks, applesauce and milk until fairly smooth. If the batter seems too thick, stir in more milk. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer to soft peaks. Fold egg whites into the batter, just until blended.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop large spoonfuls of batter onto the hot pan, and fry until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Continue with remaining batter.
