So great as breakfast, snacks or dessert. And so healthy as well.
Walnut Orange Cranberry Bars
- ½ cup almonds
- 8 medium dates (like Deglet Noor)
- 2 bananas
- 2 navel oranges (seedless), peeled. (Dice ½ of one orange to fold in at the end)
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350º.
Add almonds and dates to a food processor and process to a medium chunk.
Add bananas and oranges (holding out ½ of an orange, diced, to fold in later) and mix in thoroughly.
Add oats, cinnamon and baking powder and process to the chunkiness you like.
Spoon out the batter into a bowl and fold in the cranberries, nuts and diced orange. Alternatively, you can add the cranberries, nuts and diced orange to the food processor and pulse gently to fold in.
Pour the batter into an 8” x 8” baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean in the centre and they’re beginning to brown around the edges.
Let cool, cut into squares and serve.
