Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup applesauce
- ½ cup shredded apple (squeezed dry of juice; from about 1 medium apple)
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Cream Cheese Frosting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper. (A metal baking pan works best here.)
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir well to combine thoroughly.
- Pour into the prepared pan, smoothing evenly.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until firm to the touch and lightly golden around the edges. Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack to cool fully.
- Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting (if using), then slice, and serve.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Enjoy cold or warmed slightly.
- Use certified gluten-free oats to make this gluten-free.
- Use 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup instead of the brown sugar if desired.
