Date Squares - Wheat-free
These date squares are wheat-free and full of only healthy ingredients. Most date squares are just way too sweet in my opinion. So when I developed this recipe; my own version is less sweet and tastes even better.
Ingredients
- 1 Apple large
- 2 cups Dates
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 Lemon
- 1/2 cup Vegetable fat or coconut oil
- 1/3 cup Rice syrup or honey
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 3/4 cup Rolled oats
- 1/4 cup Potato flour
- 3/4 cup Brown rice flour
Instructions
- Chop the dates and the apples finely.
- Put the water and the apples into a saucepan
- Simmer the apples in water till soft.
- Juice half a lemon.
- Add the dates to the pot and simmer till soft.
- Mash the mixture well.
- Now mix in the lemon juice and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400º F.
- In a separate bowl, mix in the coconut oil or vegetable fat, rice syrup, and salt.
- Next, add the potato flour and brown rice flour, mix it in well.
- Then add the oats and mix well.
- Pat 2/3 of the mixture into an 8 X 8 pan. Make sure it is firmly patted down.
- Spread the date mixture evenly on top of the oat mixture.
- Then sprinkle the other 1/3 of the oat mixture on top of the dates.
- Lightly press down.
- Bake the squares in the preheated oven at 400º F. for 25 to 35 minutes.
- When they are done, let the wheat-free date squares cool before cutting them and eating them with tea.
