Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    It is great fridge cold. Next time, I will not mill the walnut to a fine powder. I think some chunky bits would be nice.

    Very nice, but very rich! If you cut them into 24 squares as directed you may think they look small, but the portion size is just right. Note: I cut the butter into the flour and baking powder with a food processor, then blended this mix with the oats and sugar by hand.

    Incredibly moreish. While the spices are very subtle they really lift this into another dimension. Even if you normally cut up your walnuts quite coarse, ground/chop these finely to make sure the filling is a smooth paste.

    This is just a basic crumble bar, but the spiced walnut-date filling is delicious and I absolutely recommend it.
