Cranberry Walnut Bars
This dessert comes together with little fuss but delivers big cranberry flavor. Chilling the dish makes the bars easier to cut--and to eat with your fingers--but you can also eat it warm with a fork or spoon (and then you could add ice cream, too).
Prep Time: 15-20 min
Total Time: about 60 min
Servings: about 24
Ingredients:
14 tablespoons Organic Valley salted butter
2 large Organic Valley eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar (do not pack it)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup white flour
1 pound (about 4 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in microwave or in small pan on stove and then let it cool about 10 minutes. Use the bits of butter left on the butter wrappers to grease a 9-by-13 inch baking pan.
2. Use electric beaters on medium speed to beat the eggs in a bowl until frothy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Continue to beat on medium speed while you gradually add the sugars, first the white and then the brown sugar.
3. Reduce the heat to low and keep beating while you gradually add the melted butter.
4. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the flours, cranberries and walnuts until just combined.
5. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake until toothpick inserted into the batter at the center of the pan comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool thoroughly. Cut and serve them at room temperature, or chill them first.
