-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 by 8 square pan with parchment paper. I use 2 sheets criss crossed so as not to have bunched up corners. Combine the oatmeal, flours, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium size bowl.

In a separate bowl, mash the banana and add the soy milk and date syrup. If using apple butter instead of bananas, mix that with the soy milk and date syrup. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Place the mixture in the prepared pan and top with the dried fruit, chocolate pieces, nuts, and seeds. Press down lightly. If using fresh fruit, add half the mixture, top with fruit and then add the rest of the mixture, top with more fruit, nuts and seeds. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes and cut into desired size pieces. Keeps for 3-4 days in a covered container or can be frozen.
