Making Cranberry Crumble Bars – Browned Butter Blondie can be a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps to create your dessert:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it turns a golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
7. Fold in Cranberries: Gently fold in the cranberries and any nuts, if using.
8. Prepare Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, and a pinch of salt. Add a little melted butter to create a crumbly texture.
9. Layer the Mixture: Spread half of the blondie batter into the prepared baking dish evenly. Top with the crumble mixture.
10. Add Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining blondie batter over the crumble layer, spreading it evenly.
11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
12. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
