Date Bars
Description
These dense, chewy date bars are a nostalgic treat that combines the deep, caramel-like flavor of medjool dates with the crunch of toasted walnuts. The batter is enriched with C&H Golden Brown Sugar, giving the bars a moist texture and a lovely amber hue. They are perfect for afternoon tea, potlucks, or as a comforting snack with coffee. Simple to mix up with pantry staples, these bars offer a sophisticated yet homey dessert experience that disappears quickly.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chopped dates and walnuts; set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a whisk or fork.
-
Add the brown sugar to the eggs and beat vigorously until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Stir in the salad oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour-date-nut mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
-
Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
