How to Make Oatmeal And Date Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed dates to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
