Equipment

  • 9x9 baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin
  • 14 oz can of cranberry sauce (or 1.5 cups homemade)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9 baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except the pumpkin, oil, and cranberry sauce. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add in pumpkin and coconut oil and mix well. The mixture should be lumpy without much dry flour left.
  • Pour 2/3 of the mixture into the pan and press down firmly with a spoon so that it forms a thick layer that evenly covers the pan.
  • Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the first layer, completely covering it.
  • Pour the remaining mix over the sauce and press down gingerly so that the oats stick to the wet cranberry sauce.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes (the top layer will not change color much).
