Cranberry Oat No Bake Bars

Y’all.

One of my favorite (and your favorite too!) no bake bars just got a holiday flavor update! Cranberry sauce is vital to my holiday table, vital. I make my own Ginger Cranberry Sauce every year, but I do hold some pretty great nostalgia for the canned.

That was one of my jobs as a kid. Setting the table, and FLOOPING the canned sauce into the sparkly crystal dish.

I delighted in leaving the can whole in that delicate crystal dish. My irony game was strong, even at age five.

Quick and Easy Recipe

These could not be easier. Or faster.

Whip up a quick date paste on the stove. Add literally two more ingredients and you have this tasty good bar and crumble top. Then walk across the kitchen to your fridge for the cranberry sauce leftovers. 

Practice a tiny bit of patience while these bars “set” in the fridge. Then enjoy!

I made two super huge sheet pans of these already this year. I hope all the delivery drivers like cranberries…
