- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture should be crumbly but hold together when squeezed.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
- Once baked, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
