Sweet Beet Carrot Bars

2 cups whole grain flour
1 cup beets (raw, peeled, and shredded)
1 carrot (peeled and shredded)
3 tsp. baking soda
¼ cup date sugar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup pineapple (blended)
1 banana (mashed)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup currants

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour and baking soda in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat date sugar, blended pineapple, mashed banana, and applesauce together. Stir in vanilla and then add the flour mixture along with the chopped walnuts, shredded carrots and beets, and mix well. Spread in a non-stick baking pan. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool and cut in squares.
