Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour *

1 1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/3 cups dried cranberries or craisins
1 cup brown rice flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugars and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth again.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients. Gradually add them to the wet ingredients, half at a time. Stir until fully combined. Add the coconut and cranberries. Stir again.

Provided by Lawst1

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 34m

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Line rimless baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside.

  • Drop by heaping 1 tbsp about 2 inches apart, onto prepared pans.
  • Bake in top and bottom thirds of 375F oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until golden 12-14 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months. Frozen cranberries can be used year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the dough firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling when they are cut.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown. The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These coconut cranberry oat bars are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different dried fruits, nuts, and spices to create your own unique flavor combinations.
