Yield Makes 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Date Paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking pan, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda. Add butter, and blend with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Transfer two-thirds of the crumb mixture into prepared pan, and press into bottom and up sides. Spread date paste over bottom layer of the dough. Cover with remaining crumb mixture.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Invert onto a plate, then back onto a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
