Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 2 cups spelt flour (or 1 cup rice and 1 cup rye flour)
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder [baking powder recipes]
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy milk [or use a BTD compliant substitute]
  • 1/3 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin, canned or fresh
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce (or 1 cup mashed banana)
  • 1 egg or equivalent EnerG egg replacer
  • 1 cup chopped dried figs and prunes


How to make it:
  • Prepare 9 x 13' pan with thin coating of oil.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in large bowl, set aside.
  • Into blender, put applesauce, milk, dates, pumpkin and egg replacer.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Mix above into dry ingredients.
  • Add chopped dried fruit.
  • Put into baking pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 30 - 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool to room temperature.

    Note:
    I did not add the water called for with the egg replace because I have read if using spelt flour, to reduce any water slightly. I use egg replacer because I am a vegan. Original recipe also calls for cinnamon and nutmeg, but those are no-nos for Os, so I don't use them. These are also fat-free.
