1/2 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
apricot nectar (or apple juice)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Chop apricots and nuts (easily done in a food processor). Mix in honey, cinnamon, oats, flour, and oil. Add enough juice (2 to 4 tablespoons) to form thick batter.
