Equipment
- 8×8-inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- Crust and Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until crumbly. Reserve 3/4 cup of the mixture for the topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, and orange juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the cranberry filling over the partially baked crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
