This low-fat and vegan coffee cake uses applesauce for moisture, wheat bran flakes for plenty of fiber, and a healthy amount of spices for flavor. Perfect for a weekend vegan brunch, a holiday breakfast, or for anyone watching their cholesterol.

Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup vegan margarine

Preparation:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan.
