Description ::
Don't wait for the holidays to bake this sweet favorite. This low-fat treat from EatingWell makes a healthy desert or snack any time of the year.


1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-by-11 ½-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Whisk both flours, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Place egg, sugar, and oil in a large bowel. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and creamy. Reduce speed to low and beat in molasses and applesauce.
4. With a rubber spatula, gently mix reserved dry ingredients and buttermilk into egg mixture, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 additions of buttermilk. (Do not overmix.)
5. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan on a wire rack. Serve warm.
