Individual Oatmeal Applesauce Cake

Individual Oatmeal Applesauce Cake
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup nondairy milk
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses
1 Tablespoon nut butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch ground ginger
pinch ground cloves

Mix all ingredients together well, transfer to a large mug or small microwaveable bowl (grease if desired) and microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 2 minutes until just set. This is meant to be soft. Like oatmeal more than cake. Just not liquidy. Feel free to add flavored extracts, nuts, other spices, maple syrup, etc. Or swap applesauce for mashed banana and chocolate chips for raisins. 

For the frosting, I simply microwaved a little maple syrup to make it thick and caramel-like, then added some almond milk to thin it out, and sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
