Dough:

Blend with mixer the brown sugar, vanilla and coconut oil

Add 1 1/2 cups flour mixture ( any GF blend ) and 1 1/2 cups GF oats

This will be like crumbs. You do not want it to be a batter.

Filling:

In kettle on the stovetop add water and chopped dates. Cook over medium heat until thick. Use a hard spoon to mash the dates while they cook. Then add vanilla after the mixture has cooked and blend.

Putting it all together:

Put 1/2 the crumb crust mixture on the bottom of 8x8 greased pan. Firm the crumbs by patting with your fingers.

Put all the date mixture on top of the crumbs spreading the mixture to the edges of the pan.

Put the remaining 1/2 of the crumb mixture on top of the date filling.

Bake and enjoy!
