This Easy Applesauce Cake is turning into our favorite fall breakfast treat!
Breakfast, you ask? Cake, you wonder? Yes, you know we eat cake for breakfast. The way we make cake, it’s like making muffins in a cake pan. :)

The beauty of this Applesauce Cake is that if you have some apples that are starting to shrivel, making them not so appealing (<—get it?!), you can grind them up and use them in this cake. This leaves behind delightful little apple chunks in your cake.
But if you (or your kids) don’t want chunks, using applesauce to make this cake will be perfect. Apples or applesauce make this moist and delicious. This truly is a perfect fall breakfast cake.
Easy Applesauce Cake
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup sucanat or ½ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- Stir all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add applesauce, eggs, and oil, stirring until well combined.
- Pour batter into a buttered 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Great idea! I’m wondering if it’s possible to mix the batter the night before so the only step in the morning is popping it in the oven. This would make a great weekday morning treat!
