2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup chunky applesauce
1/3 cup honey
2 large eggs

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds, toasted

Ground cinnamon (optional)
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare cake, combine oats and 1 cup hot water in a small bowl; set aside.
