Ingredients

 
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking rolled oats
 
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
 
1/2 cup unsifted wholewheat flour
 
1 teaspoon baking powder
 
1/8 teaspoon salt
 
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 
2 cups finely chopped pitted dates
 
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds (2 ounces)
 
1 cup skim milk
 
3 large egg whites
 
2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9"x 9"x 2" baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and milk.
2 In a perfectly clean large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer set on high speed until they form soft peaks. Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the whites form stiff peaks, then beat in the vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the oat mixture, then spread the batter evenly in the pan.
3 Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
