Apple Squares (Gluten-Free)Recipe

We had a great time yesterday evening. We had "breakfast" and saw a video by Dr. Neal Barnard, MD  on Chocolate, Cheese and Meat  (some of the foods people usually crave, and he expained why) Very good speaker. Not craving them anymore after listening to all that :/  ha,ha!

Lisa has asked for the recipe I made for the Thank You treats I gave away to the people who contributed helping in the kitchen or bringing food to our meetings.   Again, thanks to all.

Here it is: 

1 1/2 c. quick oats
1 1/2 c. raw apples, shredded
2/3 c. dates, chopped
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
1/4 c. millet flour for a gluten-free version (or whole wheat flour for a non-gluten-free recipe)
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 tsp. salt

1. Using your hands, combine all ingredients.
2. Press mix into an 8x8-in. baking dish.
3. Bake at 375 F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Loosen with spatula and cut into squares or bars while still warm.


I served it with strawberries and Vegan "Cream Cheese" Icing. My husband added a sliced banana too :)

I'll post other recipes of the food we had last night :) before the weekend.  Thank you all for participating. Delicioso!!

Next meeting will be on June 5th. The theme is Mexican food!!  Can't wait :)
