Ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped pitted honey dates
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled

    Heat dates, orange juice, and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until dates are soft, about 6 minutes.
  3. 3

  4. 4
    Spread date mixture evenly over oat mixture; sprinkle remaining oat mixture evenly over date mixture and press down lightly.

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled before cutting into squares, about 1 hour.
