Ingredients
- ¾ cup 12 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- ¾ cup packed light-brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups 5-minute oats or old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- Icing:
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- a dash of vanilla
- 1 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease generously with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the butter, both sugars, egg, salt, and cinnamon together until smooth
- Add the flour, oats, white chocolate chips and cranberries. Stir gently just until combined - the mixture will be thick.
- Spoon the batter into the pan and spread out evenly from edge to edge.
- Bake 25 minutes until lightly golden around the edges - a toothpick from the center should come out mostly clean with a few wet crumbs - not wet batter - attached.
- Cool completely.
Make the icing:
- Stir the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and heavy cream a little at a time until smooth and creamy. Add more heavy cream a little at a time until it reaches a soft spreading consistency.
- Smear over the bars from edge to edge.
- Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment to a cutting board and cut into 12 squares with a large chef's knife.
- Store tightly covered in a cool dry place up to 1 week.
