Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free pancake mix
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, separated
1 cup rice milk
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon brewed coffee, room temperature
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon molasses
SLAW:
3 medium apples, grated
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
Maple syrup, warmed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine the egg yolks, rice milk, coffee, oil and molasses; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. In a small bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
Pour batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the apples, pecans, raisins, lemon juice and honey. Serve with pancakes and syrup.
