Provided by Sydney Mike

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups dates, pitted, chopped
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup rolled oats (a generous cup!)
1 1/2 cups self rising flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, then grease & line (with parchment) a 7"x11" cake pan.
  • Combine the dates & orange juice in a saucepan & bring to a boil before turning the heat down to low ~ Cover the saucepan & simmer gently for 5 minutes to soften the dates.
  • Remove from the heat & mash the date mixture until smooth, then set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter & sugar, then stir in the oats & flour to form a crumbly mixture.
  • Press half of this mixture into the base of the prepared pan to form a smooth base, then use a fork to prick the base all over.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Spread the date paste over the cooked base & sprinkle the remaining crumbly mixture over that as a topping.
  • Return to the oven & bake for another 30 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven, cut into 12 bars & allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Great served either warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Use ripe dates: Softer dates blend easier and give the crumble a sweeter, more caramel-like flavor
  • Don't overmix the crumble topping: Overmixing will make the topping tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and crumbly.
  • Press the crumble topping firmly into the baking dish: This will help the topping stay together and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the dates are bubbling: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the crumble cool slightly before serving: This will allow the topping to set and the dates to thicken.

Conclusion:

This date crumble is an easy and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up ripe dates, and it's also a good source of fiber and potassium. The crumble topping is perfectly crispy and sweet, and the dates are soft and gooey. Serve this crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
