No butter or margarine and no dairy products.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup ground pecans
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  2. 2. Combine flour and pecans and set aside. Beat oil and honey together in a large bowl, then beat in the lemon zest. Gradually blend in the flour and pecans.
  3. 3. Press the mixture evenly into an ungreased 9 inch square baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. 4. While this is baking, mix together chopped dates and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture softens. Transfer this to a large bowl.
  5. 5. With a wooden spoon, break up the warm dough and turn it into the bowl containing the date mixture. Add the coconut. Mix all thoroughly together.
  6. 6. Form into a log 2 inches in diameter and wrap in waxed paper or foil. (For ease in handling, dust hands with flour.) Refrigerate for a week. To serve, cut into 1/4 inch slices.
