Ingredients
3/4 C. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 C. rolled quick oats
1 C. light-brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Date Paste, recipe follows
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8 by 2-inch pan, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda. Add butter, and blend with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer 2/3 of the dough into prepared pan, and press into bottom and up sides. Spread date paste over layer of the dough. Cover with remaining dough. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Invert on to a plate, then back onto a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
