Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup quick or whole oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup vegan sugar or sugar-free substitute (such as stevia baking blend or monk fruit )
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacer (or 1 1/4 teaspoons of cornstarch, potato starch, or tapioca plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple packed in pineapple juice (undrained)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or brown sugar (such as demerara or raw sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly spray or wipe the bottom and sides of a 8 X 8-inch glass baking pan with oil or cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. (You may use metal or silicone, but the baking time will vary.)
  • Put the oats into a blender and grind until they are fine. Stir a couple of times to make sure that they’re uniformly ground.
  • Mix the oat flour with the other dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and stir until moistened and completely combined, but don’t overmix. Pour into the prepared pan (batter will be thick). Mix together the sugar and cinnamon topping, and sprinkle it over the top.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into 9 pieces, eat, and celebrate!
