Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup of natural applesauce
- 3/4 cup of smooth natural peanut butter
- 1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix (parve)
- 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips (optional)
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
2. Mix eggs, apple sauce and peanut butter.
3. Slowly add cake mix. Mix in a small amount, and repeat until the entire box is mixed in (usually in six different mixes, especially if mixing by hand).
4. Batter will be thick. If a thinner batter is desired, add a bit more applesauce. If a stronger peanut taste is desired, add up to another 1/4 cup peanut butter.
5. Pour batter into pan. Batter can be spread within 1/3 inch from edges and it will spread out during cooking.
