Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Zucchini - shredded
  • 1 cup Dates - soft and pitted
  • 1 ½ cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour - see post for alternatives.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cup Soy Milk - see post for alternatives.

Optional topping ingredients- vegan butter, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon & additional flour.

Instructions

  • Start by shredding your zucchini and allowing it to drain on a stack of paper towels or clean kitchen towels. Also, prepare your dates by soaking them to soften if needed and also removing the pits once softened.
  • Preheat your oven to 350. Prep a square baking dish for nonstick.
  • Place the oats in a strong blended and pulse them three to four times or as needed to grind them down not quite to a flour-like consistency.
    Transfer the oats to a large mixing bowl and use a fork or a whisk to blend in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then stir in the milk.
  • Add the zucchini to the mixing bowl and fold it in using a rubber spatula or similar utensil. Then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • For the topping, combine the melted butter alternative, flour and cinnamon until it reaches a crumble consistency. Sprinkle this over the cake.
    Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving.
