Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp oil (or additional applesauce)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour (white, spelt, or oat)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional: allspice)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup raisins or chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, water, oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional allspice until evenly distributed.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring gently until you have a smooth batter.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased or lined 8-inch baking pan and bake for about 18 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow cooling before serving.
