Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cup Dates (pitted and chopped); 1 cup Water; 2 tbsp Lemon Juice; 1 tbsp Brown Sugar; 1/2 tsp Baking Soda; 1 3/4 cup Rolled Oats; 1 cup All Purpose Flour (I used Unbleached); 1/2 cup Brown Sugar; 1/4 tsp Baking Powder; 3/4 cup Butter (Room Temp)

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cup Dates (pitted and chopped)
1 cup Water
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 3/4 cup Rolled Oats
1 cup All Purpose Flour (I used Unbleached)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
3/4 cup Butter (Room Temp)

1
Preheat oven to 350F and grease a square 8x8 baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper (this makes sure the squares won't stick to the bottom on the pan)
2
For the filling, in a saucepan bring the dates, water, lemon juice and brown sugar to a boil, add baking soda and let it simmer for 5 minutes (you should have a thickened date mixture and all the dates will have broken apart) take off heat and let it cool while preparing the crisp
3
In a large bowl combine together all ingredients except butter and mix these together well
4
Cut in the butter and mix together until you have a crumbled mixture
5
Firmly pack half of this mixture to the bottom of your pan
6
Next layer on all the cooled date filling
7
And sprinkle the remaining crisp on top and once all evenly coated, very gently press down to pack it a bit
8
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the top looks golden brown
9
Let it sit and cool for several hours before cutting the bars or they may fall apart if you cut them too soon!

Enjoy!
