Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 350F. Line a bread loaf tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, coconut and baking soda. Set aside.
Roughly chop the dates and add to a saucepan with the butter and honey. Cook over a low heat until the butter is melted and the dates are soft.
Pour the butter/honey/date mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well.
Tip the mixture into the prepared bread tin and press down gently.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool in the tin and then remove and cut into squares.
