Cranberry-Oatmeal Bars

Author: Amateur Cook // Category:
I made these for neighborhood book club, and they're pretty good. I would definitely recommend making these for a group of folks because this recipe makes 24 servings!

Ingredients:
Crust
4.5 oz. (approx. 1 c.) of flour
1 c. quick-cooking oats
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. cinnamon
6 T. butter, melted
3 T. orange juice

Filling
1 1/3 c. dried cranberries
3/4 c. sour cream
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 T. flour
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. grated orange rind
1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. The prepare crust, combine all dry ingredients together, whisking well. Drizzle butter and juice over flour mixture, stirring until moistened. Mixture will be crumbly. Set 1/2 c. of the mixture aside. Press remaining oat mixture into bottom and sides of 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

To prepare filling, combine all filling ingredients together, mixing well. Spread on top of prepared crust. Sprinkle reserved oat mixture evenly over filling. Bake for 40 mins. or until edges are golden. Allow to cool completely in the pan before serving.
