Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Dates, chopped
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cups Water
- 0.75 cups Butter, melted
- 1 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dates, raisins, and water.
Microwave the date mixture on high for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the dates and raisins are soft and the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate large microwave-safe bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a crumbly texture forms.
Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a greased 8x8-inch microwave-safe baking dish to form the crust.
Spread the date and raisin mixture evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top of the filling, pressing gently to adhere.
Microwave the assembled dish on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is set and slightly golden.
Allow the dish to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
