1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 tbsp cinnamon

½ tsp allspice

½ tsp salt

½ cup maple syrup

8 drops liquid Stevia

½ cup safflower or canola oil (first cold pressed)

½ cup tahini (sesame butter)

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

1cup walnuts chopped

1 cup carrots grated fine

1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350. Combine the first five dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the next seven wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix well so no lumps of flour remain. Fold in the walnuts, carrots and raisins evenly.
Oil a 8x8 baking dish (or a little bigger). Scrape all the batter from the bowl into the dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
Cool to room temperature for one hour before slicing into bars.
