1/4 tsp baking soda
1 3/4 C quick oats

These date squares are super delicious and perfect as a snack or dessert. A sweet pineapple-date filling sandwiched in between a melt in your mouth oat and brown sugar topping is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Combine ingredients for filling in a small pot. Cook over medium heat until thick and smooth, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool.
Stir flour, baking soda, oats and brown sugar together until thoroughly blended. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press half the mixture into a 9" parchment lined baking pan. Spread with pineapple-date filling. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over top. Pat lightly.
Bake at 375F for 45 minutes or until golden.
Cool and cut into squares.
