Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegetable shortening, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

3. 3

   Add the egg, water, and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until everything is well combined.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

4. 4

   In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Whisking the dry ingredients together first helps ensure the baking soda and salt are evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

6. 6

   Using a spatula, fold in the quick-cooking oats until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

7. 7

   Press the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. The back of a spoon or your fingertips can help create a level surface.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

8. 8

   Carefully spread the whole berry cranberry sauce over the oat base, leaving a small border of about 2cm (1 inch) around the edges.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Leaving a border prevents the cranberry sauce from burning onto the sides of the pan.

9. 9

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

   Yaklaşık 30 dk.

10. 10

    Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

    Yaklaşık 1 sa.

    Aşçının notu: Allowing the bars to cool fully is essential for clean cuts and for the bars to hold their shape.
