Cranberry Lime Crumb Bars

Filed Under: dessert, easy, holiday Tagged With: bars, coconut oil, cranberries, cranberry, oat, oats

Tart cranberries and lime atop an oat crumb base with crunchy oat crumb topping make these bars a welcomed addition to your Thanksgiving table.

Cranberry Lime Crumb Bars

Last week at the grocery store I spotted bags of fresh cranberries and instinctively threw a bag in my shopping cart. It wasn’t until a few days later that I decided to make these bars. I am a huge cherry lime fan, so it just seemed like a no brainer to combine cranberry and lime into a dessert. If you like your dessert bars a little sweet and sour then you are going to love these Cranberry Lime Crumb Bars. They would be perfect along side your Thanksgiving spread, enjoy and happy baking!

  2. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, oats, baking powder and salt.
  3. Add the coconut oil and stir until crumbly.
  4. Add the egg and stir well.

  9. Store remaining bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Quick question about the recipe. With fresh whole cranberries do you chop them up before baking? Thank you!
