Very good! I substituted the brown sugar for maple sugar 🙂

So glad you enjoy these as much as we do! And I 100% agree with you in the lemon zest!

So fast and delicious. The lemon zest results makes a difference.

Good morning! We used dairy butter in this recipe 🙂

Good morning Barb! I apologize for my delayed response! Yes, the nutrition facts are per serving and as the recipe is shown, it will make 16 servings. Perfect for sharing or meal-prepping breakfast and snacks for the week!

Thank you. Regarding the Nutrition section, are the nutritional facts per whole recipe? Or per serving? If per serving, what is the serving size?

Good morning Barb! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed them and that they reminded you of your mom’s 🙂 I love your additions and substitutions…I’ll definitely have to try them the next time I make them.

My mom had always make a very similar date bar, however, it contained a good amount of sugar in the date mixture, so I’ve tried to avoid making them, even though they are a favorite of mine. I tried this recipe because the sugar content was so much lower and they tasted great! I did do a couple of things differently. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 coconut oil instead of all butter and I added a small amount of salt to the dry crumb mixture. I had to make additional crumb mixture as I felt like it wasn’t enough (probably because of what I was used to when mom would make them.) Great recipe, thank you!
