A beloved bake-sale staple, these squares layer a buttery, crumbly oat mixture around a thick ribbon of sweet date filling. The contrast of the crisp brown-sugar crust against the soft, jammy center is what makes them so hard to resist. Easy to cut and pack, they're perfect for lunchboxes, coffee dates, or whenever you crave a wholesome, old-fashioned treat.
