Apple Snack Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups apples peeled and small diced - separated
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted <sub 1/3 cup brown sugar, if needed>

- 1 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease or spray an 8x8 baking pan.
- Add 1/2 cup apples, dates, milk, vanilla, almond butter, and eggs in a blender (or food processor.) Blend well.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, soda, and cinnamon. Mix. Add blender mixture to the dry bowl and mix just until combined. Mix in 1 cup chopped apples.
- Spread evenly into greased 8x8 pan.
- Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting.
Notes
Other Thoughts:
- I made this with peanut butter once. Not my favorite- loved almond butter a LOT more. But, if pb is all you've got? It's still worth it.
- If you don't have a blender no problem, chop the dates as fine as possible and really stir them into the milk. Then, chop 1/2 cup of apples much finer.
- Stores great in the refrigerator for days.
- UPDATE <10/21/2021>: if you don't have dates, substitute 1/3 cup brown sugar instead. It works great!
