This recipe is loosely based on my sister-in-laws mom’s recipe for Hummingbird cake.

I couldn’t remember the exact ingredients in the original (although I am sure eggs and butter were on the list) so I just experimented and came up with this yummy, vegan delights.

I hope you ENJOY as much as we do!

1/3 cup pineapple crushed
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
1/2 cup applesauce
3 tsp baking powder
3 cup white flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
