Date Brownies

This was the recipe for date pie that my great grandmother from Syria used to make. I call them ‘Date Brownies’ because I cut them in squares. I’m never going to understand how such an easy recipe is according to everyone I know ‘my specialty.’

Original recipe makes 24 squares

Ingredients

30 graham crackers, crushed
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped dates

  • PREP

    20 mins

  • COOK

    35 mins

  • READY IN

    55 mins

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl; press into the bottom of the prepared pan to make a pie crust.
  3. Beat sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Fold walnuts and dates into the milk mixture with a spatula; pour into prepared pie crust.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes; cut into bars while still warm. Place each square on a cupcake liner to serve.
