Light Cranberry Bars Recipe #223154
I created this light version to reduce the fat and sugar found in a recipe by Bonnie Young (Recipe #12199). These taste wonderful and you would never know that they were light! These go together in a snap and are real crowd pleasers. I make them year-round using frozen cranberries. If you don't have frozen or fresh berries - I don't recommend using dried fruit. WW points = 2/serving
55 min | 15 min prep
SERVES 24
- 4 egg whites (slightly beaten)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup pear baby food (prune baby food can also be used)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Splenda granular
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup nuts, chopped (I use walnuts)
- 1 1/2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan.
- Cream butter and sugars. Add pear baby food, then egg whites and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture and mix well.
- Fold in cranberries and nuts. Do not unthaw frozen berries. Mixture will be thick. Spread into prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until edges are golden and start to pull away from the pan.
