This was pretty good! It is alittle dense though. I only pureed the first step. The next step I used a spoon to mix the flour mixture. Also I used trail mix(raisins, almond, peanuts, sunflower seed etc) in replace of the raisins and peanuts. Thanks for the recipe!

I liked this but DH says too bitter. I think it would be better if the white part of the orange was cut off. It was too thick for my blender so By the time the flour and raisins were to be added I had to mix by hand, I think a food processor would be better to mix in. I baked for 40 min in a glass 8X8" pyrex dish at 350°
