If you’re like me, you bought way too many cranberries for Thanksgiving cooking! I love using them up in muffins and bread after Thanksgiving; that way, they don’t sit in the refrigerator until they go bad. The day after Thanksgiving, I wanted something healthy for breakfast instead of reaching for the leftover pie (I save that for the evening 😉), I decided to make my favorite blender oatmeal bar recipe, but with cranberries this time. They turned out DELICIOUS, and I’ve been eating them every morning with my coffee for the past week. I warm them up in the microwave and spread a little peanut butter. I love how filling they are. I love this recipe because you add all the ingredients into a blender, fold the fillers, and then bake!

I often make a lot of recipes like this but never post them because they are shot on my cell phone. This is my reminder to myself to post them anyways!
