Sweet and chewy, these fun bars combine the flavors of oats, cranberries, brown sugar and pecans. I like to sprinkle the squares with confectionersâ sugar before serving. âSally Wakefield, Bruceton Mills, West Virginia Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups butter, softened, divided |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar, divided |
3-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats, divided |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Combine 2-1/2 cups oats and flour. Gradually add to creamed mixture until crumbly. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Spread with cranberry sauce.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining butter; stir in the pecans and remaining brown sugar and oats. Sprinkle over cranberry sauce. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
