Paleo Apple Snack Cake - Clean&Delicious®

Scroll down to watch the video!

It’s official.  One more day and Katie (my 1st born) will be in kindergarten (crazy! I know).

This means back to schedules, early bed times, and (gulp!) packing school lunches.

So I’ve been on a mission to come up with some yummy recipe ideas for her lunch box that are not full of refined sugars and flours yet are still insanely delicious!

I found this recipe, and decided to give it a try.  I really didn’t change much of anything, other than cutting back on the vanilla extract (that stuff is expensive!) and adding a little sprinkle of turbinado sugar over the top (adds an unbeatable crunch).

Warm fall flavors, nice light texture, sprinkled with little bits of apple in every bite.  This cake is a keeper!

This recipe will definitely be in our rotation this fall (I’m actually thinking it would also make a great base for a gluten-free carrot cake – but that will be for another day).

Anyone else getting ready to pack school lunches?  If so, what are some of your clean & delicious favorites?

    This recipe is incredible. Just the right amount of sweetness, and you can really taste each ingredient and spice. The turbinado on top gives a satisfying crunch too. Thank you for another great recipe!

    I made this cake today and substituted maple syrup for the vanilla. I didn’t have any ginger but I bet it is awesome with ginger. It turned out fantastic. I served It with a warm blueberry sauce because they are in season. Yum. Thank you for this great recipe.
