  • 2 medium Apples Peeled and diced
  • 0.25 cup Rolled Oats
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  5. If using the optional topping, mix its ingredients in a small bowl until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping over the batter.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
