Ingredients
- 200 grams rolled oats
- 250 milliliters almond milk
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 125 grams applesauce
- 50 milliliters vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 50 grams chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the soaked oats and almond milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 7
If using, fold in the raisins or dried cranberries and the chopped nuts gently into the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
