Healthy Applesauce Snack Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon avocado or coconut oil*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Swerve confectioners sugar for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Spray a 8×8 baking dish with baking spray.
- Add oats to a food processor or blender and pulse until you get the consistency of oat flour. You can pulse it less if you like a little more texture. Alternatively you can use pre-ground oat flour like Bob’s Red Mill.
- Add oats to a medium mixing bowl along with baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix together.
- Make a well in the center of dry mixture and add in applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, oil and vanilla.
- Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until combined.
- Pour into prepared baking dish.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Set aside to cool.
- Dust with confectioners sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
*I use Chosen Avocado Oil. Coconut oil also works but will give a slight hint of coconut.
