Directions:
- Heat the dates and water in a saucepan on low heat until the dates are soft and have absorbed the water. Allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a 8 square or round baking dish.
- Put the flour, oats, cinnamon, and baking powder in a bowl or food processor. If mixing by hand, combine the dry ingredients and stir the butter into the dates, then combine the two and add the vanilla. If using a food processor, put the dry ingredients, dates, butter and vanilla in together and mix.
- Spoon a little over half the mixture into the baking pan, pressing down with your hands or a spatula to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Spread on the fruit or jam of your choice. (Note: To use dried apricots, like the original calls for, chop about 280g dried apricots and put in a saucepan with 250ml water. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Set aside to cool. When stirred and mashed a bit, this will turn out similar to the date mixture and makes a decadent filling.).
- If using nuts, stir them into the remaining dough. With or without nuts, drop the remaining dough by spoonfuls onto the fruit filling. If there is enough, pat down to form a top layer, or leave lumpy.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden. Allow to cool well to firm up, then cut into bars or wedges.
