I shared a delicious cranberry sauce recipe recently. So it is only appropriate that today I show youย how to use up all of that leftover cranberry sauce! Maybe you made a big batch of cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and now you’re wondering what to do with it all. Enter these cranberry sauce oatmeal bars. These bars are made withย oats, flour, butter, eggs, and brown sugar, a mixture of which forms the bottom and top of each bar. The middle layer is composed of the leftover cranberry sauce. Pretty simple to make, and you can easily save them in the fridge to enjoy laterย as little breakfast snacks.

I absolutely love the combination of cranberries + oats in my sweets (let’s say that I’ve had my fair share of cranberry-oat desserts). These cranberry sauce oatmeal bars taste exactly like how my ideal cranberry and oat dessert would taste: a little sweet but not too sweet (so that you can enjoy it for breakfast), very generous in the cranberry department, a bit crumbly, and a texture similar to homemade granola.

As I do with all of my baked foods, I had a hard time telling myself to wait and let the food cool before cutting into it! I think that I managed to wait 10 minutes this time. ?

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe, and let me know in the comments if you try it out this year for your Thanksgiving leftovers!

Can I use almond flour and coconut flour and stevia in order to keep close to keto?

Yummo!!!! Substituted pure maple syrup, my cranberry sauce had dried cherries and clementines in it. I would have added chopped walnuts if I had them on hand, next time!

I made the granola bars from leftover cranberry sauce/whole cranberries. Looks really good but I Amberโ€™s wondering if these bars can be frozen?

I haven’t tried freezing them, so I can’t say how they would turn out.

This was a perfect way to use up my leftover cranberry/apple sauce from Christmas. I added chopped pecans and coconut to the top layer. Bars came out perfectly and it tastes delicious!
