Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup plain cooked oatmeal (slightly cooled (see note))
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (see note)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter or spray an 8x8 pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of coconut oil and brown sugar. Add eggs, oatmeal, and applesauce, and whisk to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flours, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and baking soda. Pour the dry ingredients into the oatmeal mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • For the topping: In a small bowl, combine coconut oil, pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly combined and the oil has moistened all the brown sugar. Sprinkle over the top of the cake.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes (mine took 28 minutes). The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without raw batter on it. Be careful not to over bake. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
