Yield: 16 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| ½ pounds | Dates; cut into 1/2\" thick cubes |
| ¾ cup | Water |
| 1 tablespoon | Honey |
| 1 cup | Toasted walnut pieces |
| ¾ cup | Brown sugar |
| 1 cup | Unsalted butter |
| 2½ cup | Rolled oats |
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 teaspoon | Baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon | Vanilla extract |
| 2 tablespoons | Milk |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine dates, the water, and honey. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 7 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Reserve. In a large mixing bowl, crumble together brown sugar, butter, rolled oats, flour, and baking soda. In a small bowl, mix vanilla and milk, then stir into dry ingredients to form a crumbly mixture. Pat two thirds of the crumbly mixture onto the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking pan. Spread date mixture onto crumbs.
Sprinkle remaining crumbly mixture on top. Bake until lightly browned (35 to 40 minutes).
NOTES : Yield: 16 squares.
