I woke up this morning with fall crispness in the air and was inspired to whip up some fall baking goodies! I’ve been loving using oatmeal flour instead of regular flour in my baked goods and I’ve been experimenting with getting vegan things to rise. I had some apples with spots on them and decided to throw those in with a banana bread base. These were really crispy with cinnamon sugar on the top and were dense and moist in the inside. They’re great for a quick bite on the go, or warm and spread with fresh apple butter with coffee or tea.
