INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 cups flour (I plan to try Spelt flour)
- 1 1/2 cups bran cereal
- 1/3 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (if you use Stevia powder in place of brown sugar, increase the molasses to 3 T)
- 1/3 cup oil (I plan to try olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
Mix the dry ingredients (first 8 ingredients) together. In another bowl, mix together the egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, oil, and molasses. Add the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Fold in the carrots and dates. Spread evenly in greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars.
