I found this recipe in the June edition of After 50 magazine. It is one of Chef Jim Rebholz recipes. I made a few easy changes to his original recipe, by using a can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed; and used canola oil; and mixed everything in my blender. This taste like a spice cake with raisins, and smells so good cooking. I will definitely make this again, and add nuts and toasted wheat germ to it.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked beans
2/3 cup powdered milk
1 cup wheat flour
2/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 egg whites, beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Directions:
1. Mash the beans into a paste consistency.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the paste.
3. Stir mixture thoroughly.
4. Pour into 8 x 8 baking pan.
5. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 40 minutes.
6. Optional:.
7. The use of pears, or other fruit can be used to replace the applesauce.
