Fast, easy and so delicious. Kind of like blondies but with a spongier texture.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 spray(s)

Packed light brown sugar

1¼ cup(s)

Unsalted butter

⅓ cup(s), softened

Vanilla extract

2 tsp

Egg

2 large egg(s)

Unsweetened applesauce

Whole wheat flour

1 cup(s)

All-purpose flour

1 cup(s)

Baking soda

2 tsp

Table salt

¾ tsp

White chocolate chips

½ cup(s), finely chopped

Unsalted pecan halves

24 half/halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9- X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream sugar, butter and vanilla extract. Add eggs and blend thoroughly. Add applesauce and blend. Add both flours, baking soda and salt; blend until just incorporated. Mix in chips with a wooden spoon.
  3. Spoon batter into prepared pan and decorate with walnut halves, one for each serving of cake. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Notes

Tailor this recipe to your taste: give it some spice with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and try swapping butterscotch chips for the white chocolate chips.
