Tips:
- For the best results, use a low-sugar date variety such as Deglet Noor or Medjool dates. This will help prevent the bars from becoming too sweet.
- If you don't have any vanilla extract on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder instead.
- To make your bars even chewier, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, to the batter.
- If you want a crispy crust on your bars, sprinkle 1/4 cup of rolled oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.
- Be sure to watch the bars closely while they are baking. They can go from golden brown to overcooked very quickly.
