How to Make Sour Cherry Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats.
  7. Fold in the pitted sour cherries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar (optional) and cutting into squares.
