Healthy Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Bars
Healthy Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate bars are made from good for you ingredients like whole wheat flour, oats, and dried cranberries for a festive touch! These easy oatmeal bars are perfect for an afternoon snack, breakfast on the go, or a late-night treat! Ready in 30 minutes.
In my opinion, there’s nothing better than a white chocolate and cranberry combo. I mentioned before how my mom used to make oatmeal white chocolate cranberry cookies while growing up, (They’re what inspired my 5 Ingredient Cookie Dough Balls!) and I felt like it was time to bring the combo back!
These Healthy Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate bars are not only perfect for a snack, dessert or on-the-go treat, but they’re also super festive and perfect for the holidays!
I’ve been adding so many holiday dessert recipes to the blog lately. In case you’ve missed them, I added Healthy Snickerdoodle Muffins, Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Pumpkin Bread, Soft-Baked Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies, Vegan Cinnamon Apple Blondies, and Oatmeal Apple Pie Cookies!
These cookie bars are soft, moist and they remind me of fall or holiday season. They’re sweetened with just 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, and the remaining sweetness comes from the cranberries and chocolate.
You could even add a little cinnamon or nutmeg if you really wanted to emphasize the fall flavors.
I’ve also been loving white chocolate chips in my baked goods lately. Not sure what it is, but they always seem to come out to play during the holiday season.
These oatmeal cranberry cookie bars are easily customizable, too!
Not a fan of white chocolate? Swap it out for dark chocolate. Looking for an added crunch? Toss in some pecans and you’ve got a nutty treat! I love it when you all turn my recipes into your own with these simple swaps.

Super easy and amazingly delicious. I was wondering about the nutrition information if there is any.
Hi! I don’t have the nutrition information but you can add all the ingredients into an online calorie calculator if you’d like! 🙂 So glad you liked them!!
I added cinnamon. Very easy recipe. Great taste. I also used a 9×9 pan so there are more crispy edges . Used 6 tablespoons light brown sugar instead of coconut sugar. Light brown is sweeter than coconut.
Thanks for sharing your swaps! Love the idea of making them extra crispy 🙂 Glad you enjoyed!
