Apple-cinnamon Cakes

Oven Temperature: 
350 degrees F
Ingredients: 
  • 3 Apples
  • 2 Bananas
  • 1/4 cup Apple Juice
  • 3 cups Spelt Flour
  • 1 cup Oat Flour or Quick Oats
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon, ground
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • Pecan Halves (optional)
Instructions: 

1) Place the peeled bananas, 1 of the apples (washed, cored and quartered) and ¼ cup apple juice (a little more if necessary) in the blender container. Set the blender on “high” speed and run until ingredients are smooth.

2) Add the remaining 2 apples and set the blender to "slow"or “chop” speed and chip the apples into small pieces. Set the mixture aside.

3) Mix the spelt flour, oat flour (or quick oats), cinnamon, and baking soda together.

4) Mix in the banana – apple mixture and sufficient additional apple juice (by rinsing out the blender) into the flour mixture until smooth, but on the thick side so that the mixture won’t flow out on the cookie sheet.

5) On a lightly oiled or non-stick cookie sheet, spoon out about 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of the mixture for each cake. Optional: Arrange pecan halves on top for decoration and added flavor.

6) Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. When the Oven Cakes are firm to the touch, they should be done. The first time you make them, you might want to check the bottoms to make sure they are not burning.

Notes: 

I found this recipe on all-creatures.org. They suggest adding 2 bananas as well, but I am sure you could leave them out if you can't tolerate them.

Please Note: Spelt contains gluten, and oats disagree with many people. Substitute these to fit your diet.
