Favorite Recipe: What's For Breakfast With No Eggs or Cereal?

We go through a lot of eggs in this household.  Victor knocks off at least 2 and sometimes 3 per morning.  Ben could put away another 3-4 easily, though he often supplements with cereal.

So it's a grim day when Momma forgets we're out of eggs.

Here's our back-up plan (and, at least for one of the three of us, it's better than eggs OR cereal!)...

Category: Breakfast Without Eggs or Cereal
Winner: Applesauce Cake

Applesauce Cake

 1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 c. applesauce
2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. cloves
1/2 c. raisins (optional)
1/2 c. walnuts (optional)

Cream butter with sugar.  Add applesauce; beat well. Stir in flour, soda, and spices. Add nuts and raisins.

Pour batter into greased 8-in square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 min or until done.

(But I always double the recipe and use a 9x13 pan.)

Quick, easy, tasty, and what with all that healthy applesauce... it's a nutritious and delicious alternative on those egg- and cereal-free mornings.

    Forget the eggs and cereal. Cake for breakfast is ALWAYS the way to go.
