Easy Date Square Recipe | Vegan Option

Today I'm going to show you how to make the absolute best Date Squares! Imagine a gooey filling of sweet dates sandwiched between two buttery layers of oatmeal crust. This easy and nutritious recipe makes a perfect snack for school lunches and a comforting treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee on those cold winter days. It is also a great addition to any bake sale or cookie exchange.
This recipe can be made gluten-free by easily swapping out the oatmeal for gluten-free oatmeal and the regular flour for almond flour. It can also be made vegan by swapping regular butter for dairy-free vegan butter sticks.
