  • 1/2 cup Ground Flaxseed
  • 1/2 -3/4 cups GF Steal Cut Oats (Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cups walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar (plus 2 tbsp)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/4 or less cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon tapioca starch (flour) EXACTLY unless using more oats
  • 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons Pumpkin Pie Spice or equivilent
  • 1 1/2 cups squash (about 4 med. squash)
  • 1/3 cup pineapple and/or orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 - 5 tablespoons all natural apple sauce (no sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 stick of butter (unsalted)
  • Brown Sugar Icing
  • 1/2 stick of butter (unsalted)
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cups brown sugar (adjust to desired thickness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 - 3 dashes sea salt
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325. Ground all oats until very fine - should be flour like and combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl except the two extra tablespoons of brown sugar.
  2. 2
    Dice squash and puree in a food processor with the 1/3 cup of pineapple/orange juice and apple sauce. It should not have any chunks. If your squash is very juicy decrease the amount of juice & apple sauce you add a little. Set aside.
  3. 3
    Melt butter, let it cool, then combine with eggs and vanilla. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, then add the squash mixture. Mix very well (I did not use a mixer).
  4. 4
    Grease your pan(s) well. Since oats cook differently than wheat, the load needs to be thin (no more than 1 1/2 inches). Otherwise the outside will burn and the middle will not be done. Let cook 25 min. then sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar. Cook an additional 15 - 25 min. Remove when toothpick comes out clean and edges are browned. It has a similar consistency to banana bread.
  5. 5
    Let cool completely before removing from pan.
  6. 6
    Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. Drizzle over bread when served. Excellent toasted and drizzled with icing!
  7. 7
    This recipe is high in sugar but also high in protein and other important nutrients. Don't feel guilty about having this for breakfast - (especially if you can skip the frosting)
  8. 8
    People have also suggested adding raisens or cranberries. Mix it up!
