Old Fashion Maple Date Bars

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup chopped dates

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

 

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and dates.

Add syrup, egg whites, and vanilla; beat until smoothly mixed.

Spread batter evenly in a nonstick (or lightly oiled regular) 8 " square pan.

Bake in a 350 degree oven until cake is golden brown, just begins to pull from

pan sides, and springs back when lightly touched in the center, about 20

minutes.

Serve warm or cool, cut into about 2 " squares.
