  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat toaster oven or conventional oven to 350º F
  • Add dry ingredients to an ungreased 8x8 baking dish and mix with a fork until well blended.
  • Add wet ingredients and continue to mix with a fork - making sure to scrape along bottom and edges of baking dish - until well combined.
  • Bake approximately 30 minutes at 350ºF (if using convection setting) or 35-40 minutes (if using conventional oven) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for at least one hour prior to cutting.

Notes

I bake these snack cakes in my Breville toaster oven. It heats up quickly and cooks perfectly!
