Add the cubes of butter and begin rubbing the butter into the flour mix using your fingertips until you have a breadcrumb texture. Pop the mixture in the fridge while you Preheat the oven to 200C Fan.
4. When the oven is up to temperature, press down 1/2 of the oaty mixture into the prepared baking pa, making sure it is distributed evenly. Spread the date mixture evenly over the crust, taking it all the way to the edges. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top - again making sure it is evenly distributed - and light pat down making sure it covers the date mixture nicely.
5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and lightly toasted. Allow to cool in the tin before placing onto a wire rack. Make sure it is completely cool before cutting into squares.
