Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C.), or we have found that you can bake these brownies in a microwave oven using the automatic setting for baked potatoes.

Place the spelt, or whole wheat flour, and the ground rolled oats (oatmeal) in a bowl and mix together.  (The rolled oats can be ground in a blender on high speed.  Be sure that the container is dry before grinding.)  Add the coconut, almonds, and 1 cup of the raisins and mix well to ensure that the raisins are not sticking together, and that they are thoroughly coated with the flour mixture. 

Place the apple juice, peeled bananas, 1 cup of the raisins, carob, and vanilla in the container of a high speed blender.  Cover and run at high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended into a smooth "fudge" sauce. 

Add the banana and carob mixture to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly with a stiff spatula or spoon.  If the brownie dough is too stiff, you may add a little more apple juice or water.   (To test for dough stiffness, we stick a soup spoon upright into the dough.  If the dough is stiff enough, the spoon will remain upright.)

Spread the brownie dough our in a lightly oiled baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula.  (To enlarge the photo of the banana carob coconut raisin almond brownies, click on the photo or link)

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes.  Various ovens bake differently, so we suggest that you begin checking the cookies after 15 minutes of baking.  The brownies should be firm, but not hard.  Be careful not to over-bake.  When the banana fudge brownies are baked, remove from the oven, cool, slice and enjoy. 

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):  'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so.   God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV)  Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!  (d-24)
