Chocolate Chunk Cranberry Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a square 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Add the cranberries, juice of an orange, orange zest, agave, apple and cinnamon. Heat on medium-high heat on the stove, mixing occasionally, for 20 minutes until most of the water evaporates. Let cool slightly then add to a blender and blend until smooth (or slight chucks are fine).

Step 3

In a food processor add the flour, oats, agave, baking soda and melted coconut oil. Blend until coarsely combined. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture.

Step 4

Add the rest of the mixture into a baking pan and press down evenly. Add desired amount of the cranberry filling on top over the crust. Add the remaining crust mixture and chocolate chunks on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let cool before slicing and serving.
