Cake for breakfast?! Yes please! With this applesauce muffin cake you can have cake for breakfast!
This is a great breakfast for kids because kids love being able to eat cake for breakfast!
My family loves muffins. We make them at least once a week and always have our freezer well stocked with them for easy breakfasts and snacks.
I recently decided to change muffins up a little and turn them into a breakfast cake. It turned out delicious!
This breakfast cake was also easy to make gluten free by using a gluten free flour blend. I don’t usually like gluten free flour blends in muffins because of the xanthan gum, but for this cake it worked great. The gf blend I used is listed in the recipe.
Now go make yourself some cake for breakfast!

I love applesauce and cinnamon! This sounds really good so I printed it out and it’s going in my recipe collection. ^_^ Thanks for sharing!

This was delicious! I saw it in my email inbox on Wednesday and proceeded to make it straightaway. There are just a couple of us and our kids are little so I cut the recipe in half, baked it in an 8×8 pan, and may have sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
