Amazing Sugarless Date Squares
What I usually find with date squares is that they are too sweet. So I have made my own version which are less sweet and taste even better. Find it hard to stop at only one.
Ingredients:
1 large apple finely chopped
2 cups dates, chopped
1 cup water
Juice of ½ lemon
½ cup vegetable fat or butter
1/3 cup rice syrup
1 tsp. salt
1 ¾ cups rolled oats
¼ cup potato flour
¾ cup Brown Rice flour
Directions:
1. Simmer apple water till soft.
2. Add dates and simmer till soft.
3. Mash well.
4. Add lemon juice and set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, mix vegetable fat, rice syrup and salt.
6. First add flour; mix in.
7. Then add oats, mix well.
8. Pat 2/3 of the mixture into an 8 X 8 pan.
9. Spread the date mixture on top of the oat mixture.
10. Then sprinkle the other 1/3 of oat mixture on top of the dates.
11. Lightly press down.
12. Bake in preheated oven at 400º F. for 25 to 35 minutes.
