Description
Deliciously chewy oatmeal raisin bars that are easy to make and perfect for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Use an 8×8-inch pan for thicker bars or a 9×13-inch pan for thinner bars. Line the pan with parchment for easy removal.
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Stir in the raisins until they are evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing gently to level the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift them out using the parchment and cut into 12 bars once fully set.
Notes
- For thicker bars, use an 8×8-inch pan; for thinner bars, use a 9×13-inch pan.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
