1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup regular oats, uncooked

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

 

Combine dates, water and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil,

reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Cream

margarine; gradually add brown sugar and beat at medium speed using an electric

blender until fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well. Combine oats and next 4

ingredients and add to creamed mixture and mix well.
