Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or butter or spray the inside of an 8x8 pan and set aside. 

In a medium to large bowl, add all the ingredients except the eggs and powdered sugar. The chopped dates will be stuck together and will be in large chunks so I like to toss them in the dry ingredients with my hands, separating as much of the date chunks as possible as they are coated in the dry ingredients.

Add the lightly beaten eggs to the dry mixture and mix just until no dry spots remain in the mixture.

Press the mixture into the pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is nicely golden. 

Cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, cut into small squares and dust with powdered sugar before serving. These bars will keep for a few days in an airtight container.
