An easy family favourite. I love the combination of dates and rolled oats. Takes only 15-30mins prep. Ingredients:
2 cups pitted dates, chopped |
1 cup water |
1/3 cup caster sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda |
1 1/2 cups rolled oats |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180' and line a 20cm x 30cm slice tray with baking paper.
2. Combine dates, water and 1/4 cup of caster sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
3. Cook, stirring for 8-10 mins or until dates have absorbed the liquid. Allow to cool to room temperature.
4. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add flour, bicarb soda and butter. Stir until combined.
6. Add oats and mix well.
7. Press half the mixture into base of prepared pan. Spread date mixture over the top.
8. Crumble remaining oat mixture over date mixture so dates are completely covered, pressing on with fingertips.
9. Bake for 35-40 mins or until golden.
10. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp of caster sugar.
11. Cut into slices and serve warm or cold.
