- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Process the Macadamia Nuts:
- Coarsely chop the macadamia nuts. You can do this by pulsing them a few times in a food processor or using a knife.
3. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully liquefied. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:

5. Mix Dry Ingredients:

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and maple syrup mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
7. Fold in Nuts and Cranberries:
- Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Spread the dough evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing it down to ensure it is flat and even.
9. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool:
- Remove from the oven and allow the slab to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Cut and Serve:
- Once cooled, cut the slab into bars or squares, as preferred. Serve and enjoy!
