Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces dates, chopped
½ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups rolled oats
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
