Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups dates, pitted and packed

Notes
Recipe adapted from This Rawsome Vegan Life
If your dates are dried up and a little on the mature side, pour boiling water over them and let them sit for about 10 minutes, then drain and add to the recipe. Voila, juicy dates!
