Pear-Date Bars

Now that my camera software is reloaded, I finally have photos to share! Here's a sneak preview for this week's pear-date bars (available at Local Roots):


The base is a simple blend of local oats, local whole wheat flour, unsalted butter, maple sugar, salt, and secret spices.


For the filling, I cooked together chopped dates and fresh pears from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm with enough water to make it a little creamy.


Add a little oat-maple streusel on top, bake, and there you have it -- not too sweet, but full of good fall flavors.

What are you waiting for?
