Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cream butter (or coconut oil) with sugar until combined. Add egg if using and mix until incorporated. (If skipping egg, no substitution needed.)

Step 3

Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Fold in oats. The mixture will be crumbly but should hold when pressed in your hand.

Step 5

Press half the mixture very firmly into the pan using the bottom of a measuring cup.

Step 6

Bake the bottom crust for 8–10 minutes to set.

Step 7

Spread the date paste evenly over the warm crust. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top and gently press.

Step 8

Bake 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool completely before cutting. For cleaner slices, chill 30 minutes first.
