  • Total Time: 45
  • Yield: 9 Bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar

  • 1 1/4 cups Old Fashioned Oats

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour

  • 5–7 oz Cranberry Sauce*

FOR THE TOPPING

  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1/4 cup Pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. For the bars: preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease the bottom and sides of an 8×8 baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in the oats and flour and press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spread cranberry sauce evenly on the base.
  3. To make the topping, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, oats, and pecans. Sprinkle on top of the cranberry sauce layer.
  4. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars and serving.

Notes

Tastes best with whole-berry Cranberry Sauce, but will work with smooth as well. Use however much you’ve got on hand, this is designed for leftovers, after all, making sure to have at least 5 oz of sauce to cover the surface of the oat cookie base.
