This recipe is from Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live Cookbook. It is nutrient dense. It has no added sugar, oil or dairy. Therefore, it is Daniel Fast Friendly - as well as vegan. The subs I made due to what I had in hand are in (). Ingredients:

1/2 C shredded coconut
1/2 C raisins or chopped dates (craisins)

2 large ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 C finely chopped apple (1/4 C chopped apple and 1/2 C applesauce)

Mix all in a large bowl until well combined.
PRESS into a 9x9 in pan.
Bake 30 min
Cool on rack.
Cut into bars or squares when cooled.
*NOTES
I added 3 T of cocoa as I was trying to entice my family. I should leave out the dried fruit for THAT.
I find these FILLING.
