How to Make Light Cranberry Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1/2 cup pear baby food, 2 large egg whites, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup frozen cranberries (do not thaw) and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- The batter will be thick. Spread evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
