Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free oat bran
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.75 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oat bran, gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake once it has cooled. Enjoy your gluten-free bran cake as a healthy breakfast option or a nutritious snack!
