Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F Lightly oil a 4x8 inch loaf pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place oats and water in a small bowl and let stand 15 min. Place beans in a large bowl, mash. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well with fork making sure that spices are evenly distributed. Add oats to bean mixture. Mix well. Press firmly into prepared pan. Bake 1 hr 15 min. Invert onto serving plate. Let stand 5 min before slicing.

NOTES :
*Butter beans (like lima) or Great Northern beans, rinsed, drained 1 cup dry beans make about 2 c puree but Im not sure about canned.

"Oats, beans and carrots make this deliciously spiced loaf a real high-fiber meal. Try it hot for dinner and have the leftovers in a sandwich the next day."
