On her blog Rolling in the Dough, Jennifer claims that she’s making the world a better place, one happy stomach at a time. With recipes like her very own Do-It-Your-Way Date Bars, it’s easy to see why. If Jennifer can’t find the perfect recipe to cure her craving for a sweet and spicy date bar, she’ll come up with one by combining two different recipes and throwing a little bit of her own ideas into the batch. The end result is a treat that will make more than your tummy happy.

The filling and streusel are quite low in sugar compared to most dessert recipes. And the crust? Though slightly more on the sweet side (and who says that’s ever a bad thing?!), it’s made with whole wheat flour, which is a delicious alternative to bleached all-purpose flour–especially when paired with the cinnamon and crystallized ginger. Jennifer’s bars double as a fruity dessert and breakfast bar. You can eat these on the go, or served warm, with a bowl of ice cream!

And remember, Jennifer’s inviting you to do it your way! She offers a few different ingredient options, so don’t be afraid to experiment with each and every one of them :).
