Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 180 grams Rolled oats
- 150 grams Dried cranberries
- 120 grams White chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice them into 16 squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
