Recipe Introduction


Rich and sweet, this will satisfy the most sugar-addicted of them all.


List of Ingredients




Topping:
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup flaked, unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup chopped, roasted walnuts
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/4 cup safflower or corn oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tsps. vanilla

Filling:
3 cups pitted dates
1 to 1 1/2 cups filtered water
1/4 tsp. sea salt

Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine oats, flour, coconut, walnuts and salt in a medium bowl. Mix in the oil, then add the maple syrup and vanilla. Spread the topping in a baking pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Filling:
Purée the dates, water and salt together in a blender. Spread 1/3 of the topping in a lightly oiled baking dish. Add the date mixture, smoothing it over with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining topping over the date filling and press down well. Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool and cut into squares.
