I really like these bars. They turned out perfectly. I recommend this recipe. It's really good.

This is a great recipe. I only used 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the oatmeal mixture and no sugar at all to the dates, only water. I'm glad I did this because it would have been way too much.

I have been trying different recipes for date bars, and this is the one I will stick with. I did make some changes, though: I omitted the sugar from the dates(couldn't taste a difference), added about a cup of finely chopped walnuts to the flour/oat mixture, used 2 cups of old-fashioned oats and a whole egg instead of just the white. I was worried these would be dry, but they were actually the moistest of all the recipes I have tried, and by far the healthiest.

Delicious :-) A nice option for a healthy cookie substitute. The dates are a wonderful natural sweetener, so I might reduce the sugar next time.

I doubled this recipe, and added 1 cup of shredded coconut to 2 cups of rolled oats. Also I reduced the sugar. Added a bit of homemade candied orange peel, walnuts and sultana raisins to the date filling. Delicious.

This was awesome! I didn't add any sugar to the dates (I forgot), and it turned out fine (sweet enough as it is). The next time, I will probably try to reduce the brown sugar to 3/4 or 1/2 cup and see if I can reduce some of the calories, so that I don't have to feel so guilty that half the pan got eaten the first day. This was a really good recipe!

This recipe is amazingly easy and provides 100% of the flavor and satiety of the much fattier versions. Adding a little cinnamon OR shredded coconut to the "crust" part of the recipe makes it even better!

Pretty good! I used this recipe as a lower fat alternative to regular date squares, so as a diet dessert, it was terrific! I used both white and brown Splenda and slightly less butter, and they turned out fantastic.

Fantastic. Didn't change a thing. Great is you like dry, crumbly topping. If not, these are not for you. Pretty healthy too with not much butter. Definitely a hit with the family. My son keeps asking me to make them again.
