Ingredients

12 dates, pitted

1 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk

2 very ripe bananas (3 if small)

4 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds

4 tablespoons ground flaxseed

2 cups quick cooking rolled oats* (blended into flour)

2 cups quick cooking rolled oats*

2 heaping teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup raisins

4 cups shredded zucchini (or carrots)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using a high powered blender, blend dates, soy milk, bananas, sunflower seeds, and flaxseed until smooth.

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix well (more oats may be needed to thicken mixture). Spread into a lightly oiled loaf pan.

Bake for 15 minutes, then cover edges with foil (like you would a pie crust). Continue baking until golden brown and center is firm, about 30 minutes.

  • Use quick cooking rolled oats, not instant oatmeal.
