Recipes Dates Cranberry
A date square is a simple and easy to make treat, with a date filling sandwiched between two layers of buttery oats. It's a dessert that dates back to, at least, the nineteen-thirties, according to recipes that have been discovered.
The origins of the date square are not really clear. This treat is, however, a familiar one to Canadians from coast to coast. In the Maritime provinces on the east coast, they call them date crumbles. And in western Canada, Matrimonial Cake is another name for these delicious squares.
While I was unable to find the answer to why date squares are called matrimonial cake, I did come across several theories. My favourite; Two separate layers brought together with dates leads to weddings.
Cranberry And Golden Raisin Relish Recipe
Date Squares are a true classic, and they are delicious. So why, you may ask, do I want to mess with a good thing by adding cranberries? Dates are dense and intensely sweet, so the cranberries balance that sweetness with a little bit of tartness in the filling.
Dates are the fruit of the date palm, which is native or cultivated in many tropical areas around the world, most especially, the Middle East, where dates have been a staple food for centuries. In North America, almost all the dates that we buy are dried. The most common varieties available to us are Medjool and Deglet Noor. Learn more about dates here: The truth about dates
Dates are very nutritious. They're high in fibre and antioxidants, as well as potassium, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and copper. Dates are75 percent fructose, making them one of the sweetest foods in nature.

I’m fairly late to dates; I always thought I didn’t like them. No idea why, maybe I was confusing them with another fruit. However… during my recovery I’ve had some digestive issues due to swelling and where one clump of clots is. So, I’ve been really trying to up my fibre and water.
Cranberry Breakfast Cake • The View From Great Island
One of my friends suggested I get a bag of pitted dates from Aldi to try. So, I did and WOAH I’ve been missing out! Rich, sticky, sweet, they’re incredible! I’ve had them with dairy free yoghurt, with strawberries, with porridge, alone. I can’t get enough!
I’ve seen many recipes over the years with dates in and read about how great they are in baking. So, I decided to try for myself. I daresay, this is the start of many date recipes because they are incredible in these bars and every other way I’ve tried them!
Using the dates also means there’s less added sugar in this recipe as they’re naturally sweet. I decided to pair them up with dried cranberries to make that sweet and slightly tangy combination I adore.
Date, Walnut And Dried Cranberry Balls
I don’t know about you, but sometimes all sweet gets too much. Ever had something where it’s like your teeth hurt because it’s so sweet?! Not the best, so I love to add a little something to juxtapose that and cut through the sweetness.
I have made similar bars to this with a shortbread base and crumble. However, I wanted to go more breakfast bar with these, so I did an oat base and topping. It’s egg free, so super easy to make vegan with the butter you use.
You can either use pre chopped dates like I did, or chop them yourself. I went for pre chopped for speed and the fact they come coated and are all the same size. However, if you want there to be a bit more texture to these bars and for there to be larger and smaller chunks, then chop them yourself.
Favorite Cranberry Orange Bread (vegan)
To begin with, I made a date and cranberry paste. This is so that the filling becomes like a rich jam once baked. I placed the chopped dates, dried cranberries, a little sugar, flour, vanilla extract and water into a medium sized saucepan and cooked it until thickened and bubbling.
This mixture couldn’t be easier to make. All you need is flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, vegan butter and oats. I put everything but the oats into a large bowl and used a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour. You could also do this with your fingers.
If you decide to mix this by hand, go ahead and add the oats in at the start. The reason I added the oats in after combining the other dry ingredients and butter is because I wanted the oats to be whole. If I’d used the pastry cutter on them, they would be chopped up into little pieces.
Cranberry Sauce With Apples
Once you have a texture like coarse breadcrumbs, add some milk. I’ve made this recipe many times and the amount of milk you need can vary. I’ve made this mixture non vegan, with egg, and needed less milk as the egg acts as a binder as well. Sometimes the oats are drier too and you’ll need a bit more. Just add it 1tbsp at a time until a soft dough forms. The dough shouldn’t be sticky, but just hold together.
I placed 2/3 of the mixture into an 8×8 inch square pan, then spread my slightly cooled date mixture on top before crumbling the remaining oat mixture on top. It’s fine if the mixture doesn’t fully cover the fruit mixture, it’s meant to be like that. I love when the fruit layer peeks through the topping!
Place your Cranberry Date Bars in the oven for 32-37 minutes, leave to cool and dig in. These bars keep really well in an airtight container, but they don’t last long in my house as I eat them all!
