I made this *cake* for my kids… and it disappeared instantly!


Hello hello Reader,

​
There are some recipes you make once and think, “Yep, that was good.”

And then there are recipes that somehow disappear from the kitchen before you’ve even had a chance to put them away.

This Healthy Applesauce Snack Cake is definitely the second kind.

It’s soft, moist, and packed with cozy apple-cinnamon flavour perfect for the fall season. 🍂 And, we get to share the recipe with you thanks to a partnership with the Canadian Sugar Institute (sponsored).

And because we know the question you’re probably asking…

“But is cake okay for my child?”

Answer: It depends and you need to read here to learn more!​

​
We’re not interested in making every recipe sugar-free or turning foods into a “good” vs “bad” battle. We’d much rather help you build a balanced approach to food, where there’s room for foods that are both delicious and nutritious, like this snack cake.

​
Happy baking!

PS: True story - This recipe has officially been tested across 12 kids and they all ask for more - one sweet boy even said “I want this to be my birthday cake!”.
