Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cake.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
