Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 2 cups Fresh Cranberries Can substitute with dried cherries or blueberries
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust based on berry tartness
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Can use coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Whole wheat flour can be a healthier alternative
  • 2 large Eggs Consider flax eggs for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Leavening agent for lightness

For the Filling

  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Dark chocolate chips can be used for richer flavor

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Mix the fresh cranberries with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a bowl, and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Combine melted unsalted butter, the remaining sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and eggs in another bowl. Stir until smooth.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly.
  • Spread half of the batter in the baking dish, layer the cranberries on top, then pour the rest of the batter over.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.
  • Optional: Top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a festive touch.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing and allow bars to cool completely for clean cuts. Adjust sweetness based on your preference.
