I use organic gluten-free oats for this recipe.

The Medjool dates I use are very soft. If yours are harder, add some water as you blend. Alternatively, soak the dates in boiling water for about 20 minutes before you use them. Drain fully and follow the recipe as written.

I make 12 small square bars in a mini brownie tin with this recipe. You can use a cupcake tray or a larger tray and cut into larger squares or slices if you prefer. If using a larger tray, you will have to slightly increase the cooking time.

The baking tray makes individual bars that are 6cm squares.
