There is no one way of serving thisOatmeal date bars or the date bars. It is so easy to put together.
I first made theOatmeal date bars or the date bars when I had lot of dates at home. Someone had brought this as a Ramadan gift as date is the must have during iftaar. And I had few kgs of it. No matter how much we ate, there was no way we could finish it up the entire stuff.
Initially I thought I would make a roll with nuts. But later changed my mind as I wanted then to last longer and wanted it to be baked. And hence I thought of making theOatmeal date bars or the date bars. I have made the oatmeal bars before but never tried with the dates.
When I surfed the net, I did find what I wanted. Oatmeal bars filled with date paste in the center. And there I got my recipe. Though I have ever since missed from where I learned thisOatmeal date bars or the date bars recipe. I had the habit of taking down quick notes in my diary and forgetting from where it was inspired. You see, those were the pre-blogging days and I would never have imagined that I would one day need to give credit.
So coming back to the recipe, we would need to make a date paste first. Then spread a layer of oats, add the date paste and then top it off with another layer of the oatmeal. We then bake it to perfection.
It stays good for about couple of weeks. Store it in an air tight container and after 3 – 4 days, keep it refrigerated. You can grab it any time you feel like munching on them. This is just perfect to pack for school box for kids. Filled with nutritious ingredients and no added sugar, you will be guilt free when you serve your family this healthyOatmeal date bars or the date bars.
