Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180C / 350F / Gas 4 and grease a slice tin.
2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, wheatgerm, walnuts and baking powder.
3. In a separate bowl, add the soy milk, honey, eggs, apricots and dates and mix well.
4. Next, melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave or in a metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Be careful not to burn it. Heat it gently, and stir often so the heat is evenly dispersed.

6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked.
