How to Make Cranberry Orange Streusel Bars
- Let cranberries stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place one rack in the middle of the oven.
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Generously grease the foil.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, oats, 3/4 cup sugar, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve 1 cup of the streusel mixture.
- Press the remaining streusel mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, zest 1 teaspoon of orange peel and juice 1/3 cup of orange juice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Evenly sprinkle the cranberries over the hot crust.
- Pour the orange mixture evenly over the cranberries.
- Use a spatula to gently distribute the orange mixture evenly.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the orange mixture just begins to set around the edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the reserved streusel topping evenly over the filling, followed by the sliced almonds.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
- Carefully lift the bars out of the pan using the foil overhang.
- Remove the foil and cut into 24 bars.
- Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
