If the dates are very dry, soak them in water about 5 - 10 minutes. Then drain the water off before adding to the mixture.
Wetting a clean spatula or fingers with water makes it easier to press the mixture in the pan without much sticking.
When processing the dough, you may need to stop and scrape down the dough if it get stuck in a ball.
Old fashioned oats are the same as rolled oats.
