I love the flavors of Cranberries and Orange mix together. I find that when I Bake any recipes using Cranberries and Oranges that they taste even better the second day. The Crumb Crust was nice and buttery. This recipe stayed fresh covered in the pan for 5 days.

Gluten Free Cranberry Crumb Bars:
In a Medium saucepan combine:
½ Cup Water
¾ Cup Sugar
Bring to a Boil:
Add:
2 Cups Fresh or Frozen Cranberries and
cook until they Pop, about 4-6 Minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Add:
¼ Cup Orange Juice
Zest of 1 Whole Orange
1 TBL. Butter
1 tsp. Cinnamon
¼ tsp. Salt
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Cook 5 minutes longer or until mixture
thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Crust/Crumb Mixture:
Combine in a Food Processor with Blade
for a few second:
2 Cups Gluten Free Flour (***See
Footnote***)
1 tsp. Xanthan Gum
¼ tsp. Salt
Add:
1-1/4 Cups Cold Butter cut into chunks
Pulse until mixture is crumbly.
Pour Mixture into a large bowl. Add:
1 Cup Sugar
3 Cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Quick
Cooking Oats.
Mix well: I found using my hands worked
the best..
Press Half on the mixture into a
NON-Greased 9X13 Pan. Pat firmly into the pan with your hands or use
a mini silicone roller.
Spread the Filling evenly over the
Crust/Crumb. Top with the remaining Crumb, pat lightly.
Bake in a pre-heated 400* oven
30-40 Minutes.
Cool the pan on a wire rack. When the
Bars are completely cool then slice them.

You can use the recipe below for
Homemade Gluten Free flour mix
or buy a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix
If your using a Pre-made Gluten Free
Flour Mix check to see if it has Xanthan Gum,
if it does then you do not need to add
Xanathan Gum to the Recipe.
Gluten Free Homemade Flour Mix for:
cookies, muffins, bars, brownies cakes,
quick & yeast breads, rolls, buns and biscuits
I got this recipe at the Gluten Free
Expo.
2 1/4 Cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free
Brown Rice Flour
1/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free
Potato Starch
2/3 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free
Tapioca Starch
3/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free
Sweet Rice Flour
1/3 Cup Cornstarch
Measure all the ingredients into a
container. I used a spoon to lightly mix it together then put the
cover on and shake well.
(Making sure its a tight fitting cover)
The original recipe called to add 2
tsp. Xanthan Gum
I did not do that, I like to add mine
to each recipe individually.
I've checked the internet and I have
seen that many people use this mix so I don't know who was the
original person who made the recipe.
ENJOY!
