My pleasure 😊

[@dragons8822]

Wish the playlists on your recipe page were broke down into different categories such as desserts, vegetarian.main dishes, vegetables &/or side dishes etc... so I wouldn't have to search for a recipe that appeals to me. so, far i like your style, "on some video's", informative but short & to the point..

Ok...how do you keep the top layer from crumbling like crazy after baking?

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

It's all about letting it cool for the right amount of time, and make sure it gets the full 55minutes in the oven so the brown sugar in your bottom and top layers caramelizes and holds everything together. :)

Next you should make some chocolate brownies. Lol I love brownies so much 😜

[@maryanneaxelson8134]

I have a honey brownie one that's great.

[@lindacroft2164]

I'll take a pan of these for my birthday please - just ship em north :p

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

Linda Croft okay :)

Most sites say you don't have to chop up dates. Also, why would you buy ones with the pits in them? More work isn't it? I bought the ones without pits.

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

I had looked for pitted dates but my Supermarket only carried the ones that were whole. But it would definitely have made the prep process much easier!

[@hawraa1946]

No it takes few minutes to pit them

[@mystiquerose620]

They look good..could i use quick oats?thx

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

mystique rose Absolutely !

[@sharongodbout9014]

Excellent!! :-) 0-0 !!

[@hansaniedissanayake1160]

can i use digestive biscuits instead Oats???

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

Hansanie Dissanayake I’m not sure about Digestive Cookies , but some gluten free substitutes for Oats that could work are Ground Flax, Rice Bran, or Quinoa Flakes. Ground Flax would be the closest texture to Oats.

[@hansaniedissanayake1160]

Old Brother Cupboard ok , i will try. thank u very much . waiting lovley recepies like these from you.

[@glamdolly30]

We don't use American cups in the UK, it would be so useful if you also gave gram weights! Have to find another recipe now... SIGH!

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

Sorry! I'm sure there must a simple conversion app for your phone perhaps.

[@glamdolly30]

@@OldBrotherCupboard Bless you for replying! Forgive my moan - thought I should give some honest feedback for us Europeans. Wish we did use the US cup system, it would be a lot simpler!

[@OldBrotherCupboard]

@@glamdolly30 I never imagined my videos would even reach the UK, so I really do thank you for finding me and giving me the great feedback. Honestly here in Canada we also use grams, my Great Nanny unfortunately did not lol

[@glamdolly30]

@@OldBrotherCupboard Well you're clearly one of the good guys, so I will take another look at your lovely (and wittily named) foodie channel! YES you have reached the UK, and deservedly so. I think your great granny was wise to favour no-nonsense cups over grams. So much simpler. If only my culture had done the same!
