DATE NUT SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8-inch square baking pan with canola oil spray.
• To make the filling, place the dates, raisins, vanilla extract, and juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the dates have formed a purée. Set aside.
• Grind 1 cup of the walnuts in a food processor until fine. Chop the remaining walnuts by hand until medium coarse. Place all the walnuts in a bowl. Add the oat flour, barley flour, and cinnamon. Mix well. In a separate bowl, stir together the agave nectar and canola oil. Pour over the flour mixture and combine with a fork or your fingers, until crumbly.
• Sprinkle slightly more than one half of the crumb mixture into the prepared baking dish. Pat down evenly to form the bottom crust. Spread the date purée over the crumb mixture and top with the remaining crumb mixture. Press down lightly. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool for 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
