Method

1

Preriscalda il forno a 180°C e rivesti una teglia quadrata di 20 cm con carta da forno.

2

In una ciotola grande, unisci i fiocchi d'avena, la farina di mandorle, il miele, il bicarbonato di sodio e il sale. Mescola bene.

In un pentolino, unisci i datteri, il resto dell'acqua e il succo di limone. Porta a ebollizione e cuoci a fuoco medio fino a ottenere una consistenza densa.

5

Distribuisci il ripieno di datteri sopra la base di impasto nella teglia.

Sbriciola il restante impasto sopra il ripieno di datteri.
