Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¾ cups quick cooking oats
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 13x9 inch baking pan.
  • Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, butter, salt and baking soda. Mix well. The mixture will be crumbly.

  • Layer 1/2 of the oat mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with the date mixture and then finish off with the remaining oat mixture. Press down slightly on layers to compact.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes or until top crust begins to brown.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little bit of moisture, such as a cup of coffee or milk, to the batter.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still delicious. I would recommend using a semi-sweet chocolate instead of a milk chocolate.
