CRANBERRY OAT BARS
These little bars are great to snack on, are perfect at holiday time, and would be excellent for a cookie exchange. If you have leftover dough after forming the bars, don't worry, I find that the thinner the crust, the better.

Steps:
- In large bowl, stir together oats, flax seeds, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir in cranberries.
- In small bowl, stir together almond butter, water, honey, and almond extract. Add to oat mixture and stir to combine well. Let stand 5 minutes or until mixture holds together when pressed.

- To serve, remove oat mixture from pan. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 12 pieces. Store, covered, at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries: Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries work well too. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Don't overcook the oats: The oats should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked oats will make the bars dry and crumbly.
- Use a good quality butter: The butter adds flavor and richness to the bars. Use a high-quality butter for the best results.
- Don't skimp on the brown sugar: The brown sugar adds sweetness and moisture to the bars. Don't reduce the amount of brown sugar in the recipe.
- Press the bars firmly into the pan: This will help to keep them together when you cut them.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: The bars will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.
