Boiling the dates in orange juice uplifts their sweetness and keeps the filling moist and juicy. The biscuit (cookie) layer below the dates becomes a little soft, while the top layer gets crumbly-crunchy, with pumpkin seeds adding an extra bite and toasted flavour. The warming cardamom with the sweet orange-plumped dates and the wholesome warmth of the oats all come together wonderfully. Great as a snack, in lunchboxes, or even for breakfast with yogurt.
