How to Make Low Fat Banana Wacky Cake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup rolled oats, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Create three wells in the dry ingredients.
In one well, add 1 mashed ripe banana (about ½ cup), and ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce.
In another well, pour 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
In the third well, add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Pour 1 cup of water over all the ingredients.
Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you prefer a gooier cake, bake for a shorter time. Let cool completely before serving.
