How to Make Millet And Oat Date Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine 1 cup pitted dates, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons orange juice in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until dates are soft and easily mashed with a fork (about 5-7 minutes).
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup buckwheat flour, ¼ cup ground flaxseed, and ¼ cup wheat bran (or substitute with 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour for a simpler version).
- Add ½ teaspoon baking soda and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter or margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup maple syrup or golden syrup, 1 cup rolled oats, and ½ cup millet until just combined. Do not overmix; the mixture should remain crumbly.
- Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Spread the cooled date filling evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the date filling and gently press down to compact.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
