cranberry bars
INGREDIENTS
•
Ingredients
•
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour, you can use a total of 2 1/2 cups if you don't have oat and barley flour
•
3/4 cup oat flour
•
3/4 cup barley flour
•
1/2 cup oats
•
1 stick butter, soften
•
1/3 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
•
1 cup unrefined sugar
•
1 teaspoon cinnamon, more if you like
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
Filling
•
3-4 cups fresh cranberries
•
1/2 sugar, unrefined
•
3 tablespoon orange juice
•
1 tablespoon corn starch
•
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour a 8.5×8.5 inch square pan (this is what I used but you can use any other larger size you may have). In a bowl mix the filling ingredients and set aside.
•
In another bowl mix together sugar, oats, flours, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the butter, vanilla and oil and mix until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Dough will come together just like in the picture.
•
Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan. Place reserved half aside. Sprinkle the cranberry mixture evenly over the dough in the pan.
•
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until top is a light golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack then transfer to the refrigerator to chill before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
