Oatmeal, Banana, Applesauce Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (1/2 cup wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled (this is a lot. I used ¾ cup melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2-3 bananas, mashed

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.
  3. Combine: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon in bowl set aside.
  4. Combine: sugars, and butter and beat with mixer till well blended.
  5. Add applesauce, eggs, and vanilla beat with mixer till smooth.
  6. Add bananas with mix and mash by hand or with mixer.
  7. Stir in flour mixture till just combined.
  8. Stir in oats.
  9. Pour into greased pan.
  10. Bake till golden brown, about 20-30 minutes depending on oven.
  11. Cool and cut into squares.

I consider this more a cake than bars like it was originally called. Great for a snack, kind of like a muffin.
