In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla, applesauce, maple syrup, and almond milk.

Sift in the remaining (dry) ingredients, then mix until just combined.

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grease and heat a frying pan.

Spoon some batter onto the pan, cooking on medium-low heat and flipping when bubbles appear.

Cook each pancake until both sides are golden brown. Serve with desired toppings and enjoy!
