Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Bran cereal
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Grated apple
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the All-Bran cereal and grated apple. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the All-Bran and apple mixture, along with the optional chopped nuts, until evenly distributed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar!
