  6. You can slice the bars into 24 before or after going into to the oven. If you slice after they may crumble a bit.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes checking at the 20 minute mark to make sure they are not burning.

Notes

  • You can leave the dates out of this recipe but the bars will be more likely to crumble
  • Instead of bars you could put on a baking sheet and stir during cooking to avoid burning and use as granola.
  • For a gluten-free bar use gluten-free oats
