Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pecan Granola Bars Recipes

CRANBERRY PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, pecans, cinnamon, cranberries and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup with the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture all over the oat mixture, and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Spread the mixture evenly out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the granola every 15 minutes with a large wooden spoon. Remove from the oven, and allow the granola to cool completely before adding the chocolate chips (if using). Break the cooled granola up and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
• Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk until smooth.
• Add the flour and stir until just combined, don't overmix.
• Stir in the cranberries and chocolate chips.
• Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
• Bake for about 24 to 26 minutes, or until done (I baked 24 minutes because I prefer very soft blondies). A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean (as long as you're not hitting chocolate), or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
• Allow blondies to cool in pan for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
