How to Make Sour Cream Cranberry Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats and 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the oat mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until just combined.
- Set aside 1 ½ cups of the oat mixture for topping.
- Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup all-purpose flour.
- Spread the cranberry mixture evenly over the oat crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the cranberry layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Refrigerate leftovers for optimal taste.
