this recipe Simple Yet Elegant
These cranberry orange crumble bars are really a statement piece to add to your holiday menu. They are gorgeous and elegant looking, yet simple. The crust and the crumble on top are actually the same thing, so you just make one big batch rather than a crust and a topping. So easy! Oh yeah, and they make a pretty yummy breakfast for leftovers if there are any left!
The Secret Ingredient In The Crumble-Crust
What makes the crumble all crumbly, buttery and delicious?! Well, it is coconut butter. Have you had it before? It is a little different than coconut oil. Coconut butter includes the meat of the coconut, while coconut oil does not. It is firmer and you usually have to soften it a little by letting it sit in a bowl of hot water while you get the recipe started, but it is so worth it. It is easy to make in fact, all you do is blend unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes. That’s it! You’re welcome. It’s like two recipes for one this post! Seriously though, coconut butter is life changing in a recipe like this. It takes it from just ok to everyone asking who made these cranberry bars!
