Made with a rich and spicy gingerbread base, sweet-tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans, these bars are the perfect combination of sweet and savory.

To make these bars, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses, melted butter, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in the cranberries and pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them and slicing into squares.
These Cranberry Pecan Gingerbread Bars are the perfect holiday treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, deliciously spiced, and packed with sweet-tart cranberries and crunchy pecans. Serve them warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
