Source of recipe: This recipe is originally based off of the Quinoa Applesauce Cake (http://www.recipenet.org/health/recipes/recipkit/quinoa_applesauce_cake.htm [2]) that I see all over the gluten-free web. This makes for a satisfying, and filling breakfast, and it tasted so yummy! You could most likely get away with serving it for dessert with ice cream too.
