Oatmeal Date Bars

Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a square baking dish and set aside.

Crust In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and melted butter. Mix well until the oats are evenly coated.

3.Press the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down firmly.

Date Filling In a small saucepan, combine the chopped dates, honey, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the dates are soft and the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.

5.Pour the date filling over the oat crust, spreading it out evenly.

Topping Sprinkle the remaining rolled oats over the top of the date filling, pressing them down lightly.

Baking Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

8.Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.

9.Serve and enjoy!
