Cranberry Almond Bars
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup of softened unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of oats
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of cramberries
1/2 cup of chopped toasted almonds
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish or use parchment paper in the bottom and grease only the sides. (An 8-inch baking dish will produce thicker bars.)
In a medium bowl, add the sugar and eggs and then beat them together. Add the vanilla and butter, beating the mixture again.
In a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, oats, cinnamon and salt and stir them. Next, add the egg mixture and stir them to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Fold in the cranberries and nuts
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Bake the Cranberry Almond Bars for approximately an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the dish comes out clean. Remove the baking dish to a wire rack and allow the bars to cool completely.
