Deliciously chewy oatmeal raisin bars that are easy to make and perfect for a snack or dessert.
Equipment
- baking dish
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ 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.
