How to Make Date Cranberry Orange Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the pitted dates, orange zest, and orange juice. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Stir in the cranberries, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
