2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup dried cranberries
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp natural-style chunky peanut butter

Directions:

Put the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nuts if you added any in another bowl. Mix them together.
Add the dry mixture with the wet mixture, mix together until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the oiled pan and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar mixture onto the top if desired.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until wooden stick inserted into the middle comes out clean and the bars are not sticky in the middle.
Turn off the oven but don't open the oven or take the pan out, just leave it in there for 5 minutes if you like the outside crispy. Don't overbake, they become really dry and hard.
