Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 10; 1 square per serving

Ingredients

1 5-ounce can fat-free evaporated milk
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
Cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup honey
1 6-ounce jar pureed baby-food sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons egg substitute or 1 large egg white
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
1/2 cup chopped peeled apple

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the milk and vinegar. Let stand for 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the flours, ginger, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.

    Step 4

    Add the remaining ingredients except the apple to the milk mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until blended.

    Step 5

    Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring well after each addition. Fold in the apple. Pour into the pan, gently smoothing the top.

    Step 6

    Bake for 30 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
