A low-guilt sweet treat that my hippie mother made all the time. So good, most people don't guess they're not terrible for you.

Time 55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups chopped dates
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups crushed pineapple (about 1 can)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oil

Steps:

  • Combine filling ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to low boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Continue to stir/cook until mixture reaches a thick consistency and the dates have absorbed the juice.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Then, in a medium-large bowl, combine ingredients for the crust. Once mixed fully, it will be crumbly, but slightly sticky.
  • Press about half of the crust mixture into a 9x13 inch pan. Top with the filling, then crumble the remainder of the crust mixture atop the filling.
  • Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Allow to cool thoroughly before cutting.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I thought I'd give these bars a try anyway. I'm glad I did! They were so good, I couldn't stop eating them. The coconut flavor wasn't overpowering at all.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

Made these last night and they were a hit! So easy to make and so delicious. I used a 9x13 pan and doubled the recipe. I also added some chopped walnuts and raisins. Will definitely be making these again!
