Ingredients

• 1 cup All-Bran cereal
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Grated apple
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the All-Bran cereal and grated apple. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the All-Bran and apple mixture, along with the optional chopped nuts, until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar!
