Ingredients
12 ounces fresh or frozen whole cranberries
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (2 fluid ounces) water
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups (210 g) all purpose gluten free flour blend
¾ teaspoon xanthan gum, (omit if your blend already contains it)
½ cup (60 g) gluten free oat flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
8 tablespoons (112 g) cold unsalted butter, grated
½ cup (50 g) gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup (164 g) packed light brown sugar
1 cup (85 g) sliced raw almonds, (can substitute chopped walnuts or pecans)
¼ cup (2 fluid ounces) milk, chilled
Instructions
MAKE THE CRANBERRY JAM
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottom saucepan, place the cranberries, sugar, water.
and salt, and mix to combine. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook,.
stirring occasionally, until the berries have all softened and the jam is.
thick (about 10 minutes). Set the jam aside to cool.
MAKE THE BAR DOUGH
In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, oat flour, baking powder,.
baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, and whisk to combine well. Add the.
butter, and toss to combine in the dry ingredients. Add the brown sugar and.
almonds, and mix to combine. Add the milk, and mix to combine. The dough.
should hold together when squeezed with a clean, dry hand.
Transfer half of the bar dough to the prepared baking pan and press firmly.
into an even layer in the bottom of the pan. Scrape the cranberry jam on top,.
and smooth into an even layer. Top with the remaining bar dough in an even.
layer, and press firmly to adhere.
BAKE THE BARS
Place the baking pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake until.
golden brown all over (about 40 minutes). A toothpick test won’t work with.
this recipe, as the jam in the center will always be moist, so it’s best to.
go completely in the baking pan (at least 1 hour).
Once cool, remove the bars from the pan parchment. Slice into 9 large bars with a sharp knife and serve.
