Date Squares (Becel)

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb pitted dates (about 2 1/2 cups/625 mL) 375 g
  • 1 1/2 cups water 375 mL
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
  • 1 tsp vanilla 5 mL
  • 1 1/4 cups each: whole wheat flour, large flake oats 300 mL
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 150 mL
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 mL
  • 1/2 cup BECEL® Margarine 125 mL
  • 2 tbsp water 30 mL

Preparation

  1. Chop dates; place in medium saucepan with 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) water. Simmer, uncovered, stirring until mixture is thick and just a few pieces of dates are visible, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Let cool.
  2. In medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, sugar and baking soda. Using fingers, mix in margarine and 2 tbsp (30 mL) water until crumbly.
