• ½ cup sugar (white or brown)
• Zest of 1 orange
• 2 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp water

Crumble Base & Topping

• 1 ½ cups SHILOH FARMS Organic Rolled Oats

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the Filling:
   In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, coconut sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and water.
   Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the berries burst and the mixture thickens. Let cool slightly.
2. Make the Crumble:
   In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, sunflower seeds, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
   Stir in the melted butter and vanilla until the mixture becomes sandy and clumps when squeezed.
3. Assemble:
   Press ⅔ of the crumble mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan.
   Spread the cranberry filling evenly over the base.
   Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top.
4. Bake:
   Bake at 350°F for 28–32 minutes, until golden brown.
   Cool completely before cutting into bars.
