How to Make Old Fashioned Diabetic Date Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pitted dates, boiling water, and vanilla extract. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften the dates.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar substitutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  5. Stir in the softened date mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar substitute (optional) before serving.
