This tasty pot pie is an easy introduction to hearty vegan food perfectly suited for an Autumn holiday or family dinner.

Feb. 26, 2010 – Banana Date cake
This was a very happy mistake.
I intended to make some granola for my wife. However, I added real brown sugar, not the Splenda brown sugar like she requested.
I was stuck with 3 cups of brown sugar, 3 bananas, and 1 1/2 cups of chopped dates.
After some searching, I came across my favorite website for vegan recipes….www.vegweb.com
Here is the original link: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=24600.0
I took their ideas, and made it fit my needs. It turned out to be more like banana date brownies, so be warned if you try this!!!!
36 dates
1 1/2 cups water or soymilk
1/4 – 1/2 sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 bananas
Directions:
This is a remake of a vegan date cake recipe I like.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and oil an 8×8 inch metal baking tin. (I use a deep cake tin with the oven on 150 – we have a very hot oven)
2. Put dates, soymilk/water, sugar and bananas in a blender or food processor and blend/process until dates are pureed (you can soak the dates in boiling water if they are hard) and ingredients are well combined.
3. Pour date mixture in a large bowl and add the oil. Stir well to incorporate. Add flour slowly. Then baking soda.
4. When you have incorporated all of the flour into the batter, pour into the baking pan and bake for 40-60 minutes (depends on your oven and tin, mine took an hour)until toothpick test comes out clean. (Cake will be very dense)
Serves: 12
