Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries can substitute with frozen cranberries (thawed and drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until creamy. Then, add the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Notes

For an elegant touch, serve them on a festive platter dusted with powdered sugar or offer a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside. For added sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the top. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
