Irresistible date squares with a buttery oatmeal crust - a family favorite sweet treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups sifted pastry flour
  • 1.333 cups packed brown sugar, divided
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup butter, softened
  • 0.75 pound pitted dates, diced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • In a large bowl, blend together oats, pastry flour, 1 cup brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Incorporate butter until crumbly. Firmly press half of the mixture into a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer dates with water and the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar until thickened. Stir in lemon juice, then spread over the base and top with the rest of the crumb mixture.
  • Bake in the oven until the top is lightly toasted, for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into 12 squares.
