1 egg sub a flax egg
1/2 cup applesauce (120 g) sub 1 ripe banana, mashed
2 tbsp maple syrup (42 g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder (24 g) black cocoa works best, see link in the recipe notes
1/2 cup almond flour (56 g) sub regular/gf flour + 1 tbsp oil
1/2 cup flour (60 g) gf all purpose if desired, I used oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350F and line your pan with parchment/liners.
Whisk together cream cheese and maple syrup, set aside.
In a bowl whisk together flax/egg, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, cocoa powder until smooth.
In another bowl whisk together flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt until no clumps remain.
Add dry to wet and stir combine, do not overmix. The batter will be thick but pourable. If not, add 1 tbsp water/milk at a time and fold again.
Transfer 2/3 batter into loaf pan, pour on the cream cheese swirl, spread on the rest of the batter.
(optional) Sprinkle with oreo pieces.
Bake 40-45 minutes until knife comes out clean (20 ish minutes for muffins).
Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
Here’s a link to the junior loaf pan I like to use.
If you sub regular flour for almond flour, also add 1 tbsp oil/butter to this recipe since it's otherwise fat-free.
Recipe as written is low in sugar and perfect for breakfast or snacks. If you would like these to be dessert, add some granulated sugar or other sweetener.
